After the Error by Susan B Mciver
Medical errors kill 14,000 people in Canada each year, adversely affect hundreds of thousands and cost close to two billion dollars. But this is not a situation unique to Canada. The NHS frequently comes under fire for misdiagnoses or for completely ignoring patients with fatal symptoms. After The Error is a collection of true stories, and it is the first book anywhere to recognise what patients affected by medical errors, their families and immediate healthcare providers have done to prevent others from enduring similar experiences.
Susan McIver holds a Ph.D. in entomology/microbiology, was a professor at the University of Toronto with appointments to the Faculty of Medicine, and a department chair at the University of Guelph. Subsequently, she served as a community coroner in British Columbia. She is also the author of Medical Nightmares: The Human Face of Errors. Robin Wyndham was a registered nurse for 34 years. She worked in neonatal intensive care, surgery, psychiatry and residential care and had a special interest in palliative care. She studied nursing at the Vancouver General Hospital and English at the University of British Columbia.
