 Wall of Silence: The Untold Story of the Medical Mistakes that Kill and Injure Millions of Americans
Rosemary Gibson and Janardan Prasad Singh
Lifeline, May 2003
Book Description:
Medical mistakes are occurring with alarming frequency in this country. Nightly
newscasts and daily newspapers tell of botched surgeries, mistaken patient identities,
careless overdoses, and neglected diagnoses. You may have dismissed these stories
as unfortunate mistakes, misunderstandings, or just isolated incidents with the
occasional bad doctor. Wall of Silence reveals that these medical mistakes are
not rare incidents. In fact, the real-life stories in this book show that medical
mistakes increasing in frequency-and worse, that the system is designed more to
cover up these errors than prevent them. With searing outrage and heartfelt compassion
for the victims of medical mistakes, Gibson and Singh put human faces to the tragic
numbers we read and hear about.
