"When I climb Mount Rainier, I face less risk of death than I'll face on the operating table."—Don Berwick, M.D. Newsweek/12.12.2005/"Six Keys to Safer Hospitals: A Set of Simple Precautions Could Prevent 100,000 Needless Deaths Every Year"
Yikes, I've got to spend an outpatient day in the hospital next week—think I'll wear Kevlar.
(To my mind, Don Berwick is the Mother Theresa of health safety.)

Comments
The article brought some quite recent memories:
At the time I was taken to a hospital when I fractured my foot two months ago, I also bruised and scratched one hand. After asking nurses too many times to clean and disinfect it ("that's nothing!" they said), I had to do it myself with water.

Tom,
"Strong and vicious insurer incentives" is not a solution he recommends.
You need to read and understand more about Berwick.
Here is a link to an excellent interview with him.
