medical errors -does anyone know of a service

Posted , 4 users are following.

Will be hospitalized in few weeks and read a lot about medical errors.. Wondering if I am the only one that's scared (maybe too much television and internet) or people have some good tips/apps/services that can help me watch myself?

    Don't be afraid to ask questions.  Even for routine things like meds.  Ask what they are and what they're for.  Test as well.  ASK!!! and make sure you're comfortable with the answers.  Best wishes and let us know how things go!!  M
