I just had to link to this recent edition of Grand Rounds, up at Running a Hospital. Paul Levy is the author of this blog, and for this edition, he asked people to submit stories based on this:
In the spirit of Dr. Ernest Codman, I asked doctors, nurses, and other providers to write about incidents in which they made or were present for a medical error. What were the circumstances, and what did you do in response to the situation? How did you feel about the event, and how did it change your practice of medicine afterward.
As I wrote in the comments of his post, it was easily one of the most riveting and interesting editions of this carnival. Definitely take a few moments to head over to his blog and check it out.
I have been an Intensive Care nurse for 11 years. This blog is about my experiences as a nurse, and the experiences of others in the healthcare system - patients, nurses, doctors, paramedics. We all have stories!
Comments
Thanks very much. BTW, I’ve linked to you.
