Health Treatment Concerns

Patient's rights to their medical records. A fiction in reality? Patients have rights? For evil to prevail – it is sufficient only – that good men/women do nothing?

Patient group aims to lift veil on medical errors

Each year, medical errors kill almost 24,000 Canadians, yet many patients say they struggle getting hospital staff to admit the mistakes. That why they've formed a new group calling for that to change.

That's nearly one needless death every 20 minutes!

Patients for Patient Safety Canada Launches Nationally



An average of 195,000 people in the USA died due to potentially preventable, in-hospital medical errors in each of the years 2000, 2001 and 2002

That's nearly one needless death every 3 minutes!

    Anthony Bowers: Recent Entry: National Registry of Exonerations: From our 'Enough to make one weep' department. (one of the larger departments on this Blog!) How a forensic interviewer - using a dubious technique for interviewing children - helped having him charged with rape, aggravated sodomy, and aggravated indecent liberties with a child, and sentenced to three consecutive terms of 25 years to life in prison…"Shehi-Chapman had used an interviewing technique with T.S. called “Finding Words,” a protocol deployed at many child advocacy centers. Swain sought to exclude evidence derived from this interview. In a motion, she said there was no scientific proof that the Finding Words protocol produced reliable results. The state said in a response that the protocol was “designed to elicit untainted statements from a child witness.” Judge Marek allowed the admission of the evidence."
