Most of medical error is due to INFECTIONS.
A lots of preventive measurements are taken, however a recent study by Johns Hopkins University researchers estimate that the number is not decreasing but increasing to 251,454 cases, and medical error is now the 3rd leading cause of death in United States..

Why?
Because doctor and nurses are human too!
For many of us, the doctor's final word is final, and we rarely question a diagnosis or a prescription ,
What happens if medicine interact?
What if the nurses read wrongly the doctor's handwriting and give us a wrong prescription?
What will happen if they don't wash hand and change a new pair of new glove when they treat us?
What we can do?
We must first acknowledge "Human is Err",
therefore, PREVENTION is always the best option!
We needn't worry about dying from a medical error if we take pains to prevent falling ill in the first place. If prevention is too late, then vigilance should be practiced. Even if it means QUESTIONING THE DOCTOR,
PATIENTS must play a RESPONSIBLE part
in their HEALTHCARE.
"When you become grateful for small pleasures, your outlook changes and opportunities seem to open up everywhere in your life."
