Save a Life This Holiday Season

Visitors to this website are a health-conscious bunch. They look for ways to control their blood pressure and cholesterol levels so they can lower their likelihood of developing heart disease, one of the big killers in the U. S. They are interested in dietary approaches and screening programs that can help reduce their risk of cancer, another big killer.

That’s why we think you’ll be interested in the information we offer on how to avoid being the victim of a medical mishap. Health care harm kills nearly as many people each year as heart disease or cancer, yet too many of us don’t want to think about it. We’d like to trust our doctors to keep us safe.

But though doctors do the best they can, the systems in which they work are full of flaws that can allow patients to come to grief. It only makes sense to be as pro-active about this area of health as you are for cancer or heart disease: arm yourself with the tools you need to cut way down on your chance of becoming a tragic health care statistic.

Top Screwups Doctors Make and How to Avoid Them is full of practical information you can put into use the next time you need health care. If you don’t feel you need this information yourself, perhaps a close friend or beloved family member does. Take action now: you could save a life.
