Book Description
This little information booklet is a true story about a young woman who lost a medical malpractice court case. And for the past eight years, she and her family have been desperately seeking justice. They feel that the surgeon who mistakenly removed three healthy organs got off because the medical malpractice laws are designed to uphold doctors who break the oath they promised to uphold. Also, her attorney let her down in the three-day trial. He failed to represent her accordingly, and she has not been able to obtain another attorney who would assist her in bringing this lawyer to justice. Other attorneys have boldly claimed that attorneys just do not sue another attorney. It seems they have made some kind of binding pact to protect each other. Now the victim, always ill after the surgery happened, also wants to warn other would-be victims what to look out for when hiring a physician or an attorney. Plus, she is praying that this book will fall into the hands of some compassionate attorney who will fight along with her to bring this abuse to an end and change some American laws. She knows that there are some honest doctors and lawyers out there who are also willing to maintain their integrity. Not everyone is as greedy for filthy lucre as these professionals, who took advantage of her innocence and abused her for the love of money, are. So the faith that has brought her this far will continue to lead her to the right people who will help.

Book Description
"Closing Death's Door explores innovative legal strategies to address the challenge of medical error. In the United States today, several hundred thousand patients die in hospitals each year because of errors in medical treatment-the nation's third leading cause of death. The legal mechanism designed to deal with this epidemic of injury and death is the medical malpractice system. It has failed to stem the tide of iatrogenic harm. Among the reasons are the costliness of the malpractice system, its availability to only a minuscule percentage of those harmed, and decades of "tort reform" efforts that have effectively extinguished the system for all but the most egregious claims. In 1999, in To Err Is Human, the Institute of Medicine (now the National Academy of Medicine) sounded an alarm about the toll taken by medical error. Its proposed solution-a set of reporting systems to document problems and generate data on which solutions might be based-has been a failure. The time has come for a fresh look at what the law might do to contribute to patient safety. To begin a conversation about legal innovations designed to spur healthcare system improvements directed at reducing harmful medical errors, this book explores a number of possible steps, including: Well-designed economic incentives to stimulate greater investment in safety. Promotion of systems approaches to safer delivery of care. Government regulation and surveillance in especially risky treatment contexts. Encouragement of a range of technological improvements, especially involving information technology"--
