Hospital Hazards Ebook Description

Did you know that you are 40 times more likely to be killed by a "deadly" doctor than by a drunk driver? According to a 2013 study, medical mistakes are now considered the third leading cause of death in the U.S. It’s a crisis that few people outside the healthcare arena can fathom.

In this book, you will get a truthful inside perspective by a former registered nurse about the activities and reasons that contribute to this crisis. These acts take place behind the scenes in virtually every hospital and clinical setting.

This book is NOT a fluff piece about the virtues of nursing, the promises of healing, or the altruism of healthcare professionals. This book is not laced with excuses about how healthcare providers and administrators are victims of a healthcare system that is indifferent to their needs. 

This book address YOUR needs.  It's the the stone-cold truth about the systemic problems inside America’s hospitals that are killing our children, spouses, elders, siblings, and friends.

From the nation’s top healthcare policymakers to the smallest hospital unit in a one-horse town, there is a pecking order. In that hierarchy, some give orders and others obey. The harsh reality is that far too often, those who give orders get full of themselves. Because of arrogance, greed, indifference, or incompetence, they will compromise peoples’ health and wellness without care.

Perhaps even more disturbing is that sociopaths are attracted to positions of power. When a person of this flawed psychological mindset latches himself or herself onto a healthcare setting, the results can be utterly disastrous.

This book identifies the mindset of individuals that are calling the shots for your healthcare. As history has proven, persons who take orders from those in authority tend to obey unconditionally.  For many, the instinct to obey can be so strong that it overshadows the individual’s judgment.  Will they be moral enough to disobey a harmful order?  Will they report malfeasance?  Will they object to questionable behavior? Will they have the spine to risk their careers to advocate for you?

As we learned through history, world atrocities have been and are being committed in the name of obedience to authority.  Imagine the chilling consequences of unconditional obedience in healthcare settings.  The first part of this book teaches you to identify those obedient servants as well as the dangerous sociopaths.

The second part teaches you how to protect yourself from those who blindly obey and those who ruthlessly command.  The book will give you ideas, suggestions and information to communicate effectively and powerfully to get the best healthcare possible.

In short, this book is about one former nurse who has nothing to lose and everything to gain by teaching the public how to get out of a hazardous hospital alive!
