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!

    April 22: Denver Colorado:Stephen Martinez: (Shaken Baby Syndrome): (From our enough to make one weep department): Another Noteworthy case; Denver7 Digital Content Producer Oscar Contreras) reports that this Denver man who has been serving a life sentence for almost three decades after being convicted of killing a 4-month-old baby in 1998 had his case dismissed Tuesday following new evidence presented by the Korey Wise Innocence Project that determined the infant died of severe lung disease, noting that: "Our partners at The Denver Post report that further investigation into Heather’s death showed that the baby had ruptured blood vessels in her eyes, brain bleeding and swelling. Martinez would later confess to shaking Heather and slamming her into a crib — a confession he later recanted and which his attorneys say was false. But doctors who recently reviewed Heather’s case found her lungs were severely damaged to the point that “she had almost no air,” according to a petition from the defense reviewed by the Post. Those findings could have caused the symptoms that were previously attributed to abuse, the experts told the defense."

    JUDICIAL REGISTER: Eleven years ago - Holyrood debated & supported a motion calling for Scottish judges to register all their interests. In 2021 - after a near DECADE of opposition, delay & a campaign of hostility, threats to shut journalists out of our courts & hostile briefings from Scotland’s legal establishment - the Scottish Government committed to create a Judicial Interests Register. In October 2025, this judicial register is yet to be created.
