Every ½ Second Counts
A victim's perspective on patient safety hammered home the point
that every half-second of focus counts when protecting patients
from harm. Days after a car accident killed his wife, a medication
error took the life of his toddler son. A grieving father brought out
the tissues before bringing the audience to its feet with an incredibly
emotional and inspiring tale.
