Patient Stories Episodes

"Mistakes happen" - an old saying but total reality. And medicine is no different - doctors are human, and medical care is complicated. Some errors are tiny, some go unnoticed, but today's stories are about both the ultimate price paid for a medical error, and the ripple effects that they have beyond the doctor-patient encounter.

There are doctors who will, on occasion, take the time to go so far above and beyond the expected call of their duty to help patients out that it's worth hearing their stories.

Hear Grace Lombardo’s stories about a role-reversal in the hospital, the blog that she maintains to share about her experiences, and how she got one doctor to think twice about how she practices medicine.
