Are you prepared to protect yourself or a loved one from medical mistakes during a hospital stay?
For adults over 50, a hospital visit—planned or unexpected—can bring serious risks, especially when most patients still assume hospitals are always safe.
In this episode I interview Dr. Julie Siemers, author of Surviving Your Hospital Stay: A Nurse Educator’s Guide to Staying Safe and Living to Tell About It.
Drawing from decades of frontline experience, Dr. Siemers explains how preventable medical mistakes, medication errors, and poor communication can turn routine care into life-threatening emergencies—and what you can do to avoid becoming a statistic.
