Go here to secure your ticket: Here—---------------------------What if owning your medical mistakes could rebuild trust and prevent future harm?In this profound episode, Dr. Bradley Block sits down with Dr. Danielle Ofri, to explore the raw realities of errors in medicine. Sharing a vivid story from her residency, Dr. Ofri discusses why mistakes happen, the difference between guilt which drives improvement, and shame which paralyzes, and the power of genuine apologies. Ideal for physicians grappling with perfectionism, this conversation offers strategies for self-compassion, seeking mentors, and creating systems that support clinicians, helping you continue caring without being crushed by uncertainty.Three Actionable Takeaways:Distinguish Guilt from Shame: Guilt focuses on the error and motivates change e.g., "I forgot the long-acting insulin, next time I'll double-check protocols". Shame attacks your identity "I'm a bad doctor". Dr. Ofri advises recognizing this to avoid paralysis; practice by journaling an error's facts versus your emotional narrative, then discuss with a trusted colleague to reframe it productively.Bear Witness to Suffering: For patients and peers, simply listening and acknowledging pain builds trust, whether it's a patient's chronic illness story or a colleague's post-error distress. Try this: Next time a teammate struggles, offer a quick check-in like "Need a coffee break?" to foster community and remind them they're valued beyond one mistake.Deliver Genuine Apologies: Avoid passive language; own your role actively e.g., "I'm sorry my oversight contributed to this outcome, I've been reflecting deeply and changing my process". Patients value transparency and prevention steps; role-play with a mentor before tough talks to ensure honesty while consulting risk management for legal guidance.About the Show:Succeed In Medicine covers patient interactions, burnout, career growth, personal finance, and more.

It's a cliche to say health care is broken. However, the extent to which it is unnecessarily convoluted, inefficient, and fragmented frustrates even the most experienced clinicians each time they are forced to deal with its consequences. Medical records disappear when a patient switches doctors. Critical details of life-saving treatment plans are buried deep within thousands of pages worth of electronic charts. In this episode, Stanford oncologist and journalist Ilana Yurkiewicz, MD explores all the ways that modern medicine is riddled with gaps and the incredible strain this puts on providers, patients, and caregivers alike. She is the author of the 2023 book Fragmented: A Doctor's Quest to Piece Together American Health Care. In the first half of our conversation, Dr. Yurkiewicz shares how she connects with patients and helps them through the worst moments of their lives—often taking place after a cancer has been treated. In the second half, we discuss why electronic medical records are failing doctors and patients, how clinicians can strive to retain a sense of autonomy, and how she manages the uncertainty that this broken system frequently imposes upon her.In this episode, you'll hear about: 2:53 - Dr. Yurkiewicz's day job as a primary care physician specializing in cancer patients and survivors5:49 - The benefits that cancer patients and survivors receive in seeing a primary care provider with additional training in oncology10:34 - What initially drew Dr. Yurkiewicz to oncology 15:00 - Why helping people through times of suffering is meaningful to Dr. Yurkiewicz18:30 - How Dr. Yurkiewicz became adept at dealing with the diverse emotional psychosocial of cancer survivors 22:45 - What “fragmentation of the healthcare system” means to Dr. Yurkiewicz 24:24 - How patients expect the medical system to work versus how it actually works 34:30 - The challenges physicians face in piecing together a patient's story through medical charts39:12 - The consequences of fragmented medical records46:26 - How electronic medical records can be improved50:44 - How Dr. Yurkiewicz retains a sense of autonomy amid a fragmented system 58:11 - Dr. Yurkiewicz's approach to having difficult and high-stakes conversations with patients Dr. Ilana Yurkiewicz is the author of Fragmented: A Doctor's Quest to Piece Together American Health Care (2023).Dr. Yurkiewicz can be found on Instagram at @iyurkiewiczmd.In this episode, we discuss Danielle Ofri's 2019 New York Times Op Ed The Business of Healthcare is Built on Exploiting Healthcare Workers.Visit our website www.TheDoctorsArt.com where you can find transcripts of all episodes.If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, rate, and review our show, available for free on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Healthcare has become increasingly consolidated and corporatized over the past few decades and Danielle Ofri has written eloquently about its impact on the practice of medicine. In this episode, shared by Searching for Medicine's Soul, Aaron Rothstein talks with Dr. Ofri about the challenges to the relationship between doctor and patient: administrative creep in the medical field, nonprofit hospital (mis)behavior, and the application of the adversarial patient compensation system to unintended medical errors.

In this episode, Dr. Ofri and I talk about an article she recently published in the New Yorker titled, “The Curious Side Effects of Medical Transparency.” We delve into how the act of exposing medical notes to patients necessarily changes their purpose and their content, and how that, in turn, changes the thinking processes of clinicians. We talk about how art and expression are both integral to and separate from the art and science of medicine. Finally, Dr. Ofri offers advice to rising clinicians about how to separate their responsibilities from their identities to support sustainable practice. Dr. Danielle Ofri is a leader who cares greatly.

Did you know that all people with blue eyes are related to each other? That is just one of the fascinating things we explore as I begin this episode with a look at how your eyes work and how they help you navigate your world. http://www.buzzfeed.com/acuvue/impossibly-cool-facts-you-may-not-know-about-yo#.kjpwxlkvO It often seems that great new ideas and inventions come out of the blue. However, that's not usually true. There is actually an innovation process according to Matt Ridley. Matt is a journalist, businessman and author of the book How Innovation Works: And Why It Flourishes in Freedom (https://amzn.to/2D6syWe). Matt has studied how great ideas are created, developed and accepted and he joins me to explain the process and where the next big thing is likely to come from. Doctors are human so of course they make mistakes. However, the consequences of medical mistakes can be serious and even life threatening. Some reports have said that medical errors are the third leading cause of death in America. Could that really be true? Are errors just part of the system or could most of them be prevented? Joining me to discuss this is Dr. Danielle Ofri, clinical professor of medicine at the New York University School of Medicine and practicing physician at New York's Bellevue Hospital for more than two decades. She is author of the book When We Do Harm: A Doctor Confronts Medical Error (https://amzn.to/3hVGku9).

First used in the context of Vietnam war veterans, the term "moral injury" refers to the psychosocial, behavioral, and spiritual distress that comes from perpetuating or witnessing events that contradict deeply held moral beliefs. In recent years, moral injury has increasingly been used to describe one of the main challenges clinicians face in modern medicine — the challenge of knowing what care patients need but being unable to provide it due to constraints beyond the clinicians control, such as limited time or misaligned financial structures. Even more than emotional exhaustion and detachment, moral injury leads to profound shame and guilt. One of the leading voices addressing moral injury among health care workers is Dr. Wendy Dean, a psychiatrist who has written widely on the issue, most recently in her book, If I Betray These Words: Moral Injury in Medicine and Why it's So Hard for Clinicians to Put Patients First. In this episode, Dr. Dean shares her own winding journey from orthopedic surgery to general surgery and finally to psychiatry, discusses where moral injury comes from and what it looks like, and explores what clinicians can do to address it.In this episode, you will hear about:Dr. Dean's early explorations in medicine - 2:35How Dr. Dean's desire to become a surgeon was deterred by gender discrimination - 5:12What led Dr. Dean to psychiatry, and then eventually out of clinical medicine entirely - 13:22A discussion of what moral injury is and why Dr. Dean began to study it - 18:03Examples of how moral injuries occur in the day-to-day of medical practice - 24:19How physicians and hospital administrators can address moral injury, citing as an example the court case of Raymond Brovont M.D. vs EmCare Holdings Inc - 38:57Dr. Dean's advice for how navigate and push back against seemingly insurmountable bureaucracy - 42:22Moral Injury in Healthcare, the non-profit Dr. Dean founded - 47:39What setting personal and professional boundaries looks like in medicine - 53:04Dr. Dean's advice to students and clinicians about fighting burnout - 57:37In this episode, we discuss Achilles in Vietnam: Combat Trauma and the Undoing of Character by Jonathan Shay, MD, PhD, and The Business of Health Care is Built on the Exploitation of Doctors and Nurses by Danielle Ofri, MD, PhD.Dr. Wendy Dean is the cohost of the Moral Matters podcast.You can follow Dr. Dean on Twitter @WDeanMD.Visit our website www.TheDoctorsArt.com where you can find transcripts of all episodes.If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, rate, and review our show, available for free on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

The wellness industry saturates our cultural consciousness, with juice cleanses, organic skincare, and spa retreats flooding our social media feeds. But what does this plethora of dazzling — and often-expensive — lifestyle products all amount to? Not much, argues Dr. Pooja Lakshmin, a psychiatrist who specializes in women's mental health and clinical assistant professor at George Washington University School of Medicine. As she writes, "our understanding of self-care and wellness is incomplete at best and manipulative at worst. We cannot meditate our way out of a 40 hour workweek without childcare. These wellness products keep us looking outward, comparing ourselves with others or striving for perfection." She details her ideas for achieving true wellness in her recently released book, Real Self-Care: A Transformative Program for Redefining Wellness. In this episode, Dr. Lakshmin joins us to discuss how she overcame her own struggles working in medicine and details practical strategies for real self-care, which, in her words, "isn't a thing to do or buy, but a way to be." In this episode, you will hear about:How Dr. Lakshmin's rocky initial foray into medicine led her a career in psychiatry - 2:15Dr. Lakshmin's disillusionment with medicine, her two years away from the profession, and what she learned from immersing herself in the wellness industry - 5:34Reflections on the state of the wellness industry - 10:42An overview of Dr. Lakshmin's book Real Self-Care and what real self-care looks like - 15:52A deeper dive into the first principle of real self-care: boundary setting - 18:47A discussion of how the American healthcare system often exploits doctors and nurses - 24:25The second principle of real self-care: self-compassion - 32:08The third principle of real self-care: knowing your values - 38:44The fourth principle of real self-care: empower oneself to create change - 45:09Dr. Lakshmin's advice on getting control of your self-care journey - 50:43In this episode, we discussed the essay The Business of Healthcare Depends on Exploiting Doctors and Nurses by Dr. Danielle Ofri, published in the New York Times.We also discussed Dr. Lakshmin's article How Society Turned its Back on Mothers, published in the New York Times.Dr. Pooja Lakshmin is the founder and CEO of GEMMA, a women's mental healthcare education community focused on impact and equity.You can follow Dr. Pooja Lakshmin on Twitter @PoojaLakshmin.Visit our website www.TheDoctorsArt.com where you can find transcripts of all episodes.If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, rate, and review our show, available for free on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

This month, Inside Medical Malpractice returns focus to one of the 5 top issues in malpractice litigation:  communication.  Listen as repeat guest Dr. Danielle Ofri MD, PhD ,one of the most thought provoking and influential voices in healthcare today, discusses her book ‘What Patients Say, What Doctors Hear'. Dr. Ofri says that the doctor patient interview remains the single most powerful diagnostic tool in medicine. But what patients say and what doctors hear are often two very different things. Listen as Dr. Ofri highlights just how powerful the doctor patient relationship is and talks honestly about the disclosure of medical error. There's a great conversation about the power imbalance that exists between doctors and patients and suggestions to avoid the underlying commonality in almost all lawsuits; a breakdown in doctor-patient communication. Listening and communicating not only makes patients feel cared for, it can improve the accuracy of the information offered, reduce the risk of medical error and result in few lawsuits. There's something valuable in this episode for everyone!

Too often, modern medicine focuses on life-extending interventions for those nearing the end of life at the expense of quality of life. Our guest today, Dr. Shoshana Ungerleider, argues we urgently need to rethink the emphasis of end-of-life care. She's the founder of the End Well Foundation, a nonprofit that seeks to improve how doctors and patients approach issues of mortality, as well as an executive producer of the 2018 film End Game and a major funder of the 2016 film Extremis, two Academy Award-nominated short documentaries on end-of-life care. As a health communicator. Dr. Ungerleider is the host of the TED Health Podcast and has been featured as a medical expert on CNN, CBS, PBS, Fox News, and other news networks. In this episode, she discusses her journey in health care and shares her mission to transform the end of life experience of patients everywhere and make dying well a part of living well.In this episode, you will hear about:How Dr. Ungerleider found her way to a career in health care and how she pushed through imposter syndrome while in medical school - 2:23Dr. Ungerleider's formative experiences working with elderly patients in the ICU, leading her question the practices of modern medicine when dealing with seriously ill patients - 10:18How the Covid-19 pandemic has shifted public consciousness around death and dying - 15:30The origins of End Well, the conference and organization founded by Dr. Ungerleider and her colleagues in 2017 - 23:51What it would look like for there to be a shift in the cultural conversation around death and dying - 30:31A reflection on the risks of romanticizing the dying process - 36:54The recent cancer diagnosis in Dr. Ungerleider's family and how this has propelled her to proactively manage her own risks - 43:49Advice for new clinicians on dealing with patient deaths - 48:49Dr. Shoshana Ungerleider is the author of “My Dad's Terminal Cancer Diagnosis May Have Saved My Life” for Newsweek.You can follow Dr. Ungerleider on Twitter @ShoshUMDIn this episode, we discussed The Good Place, an award-winning sitcom series about philosophy and the afterlife.We discussed several articles and studies about whether physicians are more likely to choose to die at home than the general public. These articles include “How Doctors Die” by Ken Murray, “Association of Occupation as a Physician With Likelihood of Dying in a Hospital” by Blecker, Johnson, Altekruse, et al. and “Patients, and Doctors, Aren't Dying at Home” by Dr. Danielle Ofri (our guest on episode 35).Visit our website www.TheDoctorsArt.com where you can find transcripts of all episodes.If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, rate, and review our show, available for free on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Director Greg Barker new documentary film, WHITE COAT REBELS, is an urgent wake-up call into the corrupting influence of Big Pharma on the medical profession and the courageous young doctors and students fighting back to improve inequities in healthcare. The film revolves around the direct actions of health professionals seeking to reform a broken health care system. Many of the film participants, including UCLA medical student Neda Ashtari, belong to Universities Allied for Essential Medicine (UAEM). UAEM is a student-driven organization working to improve access to and affordability of life-saving medicines, especially those researched and developed at universities with public funding. Other health professionals featured include: Dr. Michael Fine, Rhode Island's former Health Director, who organizes healthcare on behalf of marginalized communities; and Dr. Danielle Ofri of New York's Bellevue Hospital.  Director Greg Barker (The Final Year, The Longest War, Sergio), and Producer Harriet Fraser stop by to talk about the critically important issues surrounding the industry's profit over people ethos and the daunting challenge millions of Americans face trying to gain access to effective, affordable health care.

"'Doctor, it's taken so long to get this appointment with you!' This is the opening line of so many medical visits, and I find myself constantly apologizing to my patients on behalf of our system. After the pandemic-induced lull in routine medical care, we're right back where we started—doctors booked for months, patients struggling to get appointments. The difficulty with access to medical care is endemic to our entire medical system. Even before the pandemic, less than a fifth of American doctors were able to take new patients, and more than 80 percent were at capacity or over-extended. Some 16,000 medical practices closed down because of the pandemic. This is especially concerning in primary care, which is on track for a shortage of up to 48,000 physicians. It's not surprising that lack of access to primary care doctors is associated with higher mortality." Danielle Ofri is an internal medicine physician and editor-in-chief, Bellevue Literary Review, and is the author of When We Do Harm: A Doctor Confronts Medical Error. She shares her story and discusses her KevinMD article, "Getting an appointment with primary care is the Achilles' heel of medicine." Did you enjoy today's episode?

On Friday, February 18th, 2011, six-year-old Jack Adcock was admitted to the hospital by his general practitioner for nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. His doctor, Hadiza Bawa-Garba, started him on fluids and requested tests. At the time she had just returned from 13 months of maternity leave and was brand new to the hospital. Her supervisor was a town away and she was covering the role of two other doctors. Around 7PM that night, Jack's parents gave him his medication for high blood pressure, just as they would have at home. Jack went into cardiac arrest and a team immediately started to resuscitate him. However, the electronic health records system was down that day, causing Dr. Bawa-Garba to confuse Jack for a different patient that had occupied his room earlier with orders for a DNR. They resumed life saving efforts but it was too late, Jack was pronounced dead at 9:20 PM that evening. Dr. Bawa-Garba was charged and convicted with manslaughter by gross negligence.

Medical technology has advanced exponentially. So why are patient-physician relationships stuck in the past? That's the heart of the question in Dr. Danielle Ofri's book, “What Patients Say, What Doctors Hear.” Enjoy this archive offering from 2017 as you get ready for Friday's conversation between Kerri Miller and author Megan O'Rourke about the difficulty of getting doctors to take chronic illnesses seriously.

Chris Rokosh ends almost every episode of Inside Medical Malpractice with the question “What is the most important thing you'd like doctors, nurses, lawyers, and the public to know about medical malpractice?”. The answers came from healthcare providers, plaintiff and defense lawyers, and a supreme court judge.  The responses are as different as their perspectives….but always honest, insightful, and thought provoking. In this episode, listen in as Dr. Michael Narvey, Former Chief Supreme Court Justice Beverly McLaughlin, Ob/Gyn Dr. Colin Birch, Internist Dr. Danielle Ofri, and lawyers Virginia May, Barb Legate and Michael Waite offer up their advice. You're going to love this episode!

"This last mile of the COVID pandemic—Omicron or not—is a painstaking one-on-one endeavor. As is most of primary care. Sadly, we now have to deal with political epidemiology as much as emotional and clinical epidemiology. We'll sit with each of our patients, listening as much as possible, attempting to understand and address their concerns. With some, the bloc of silence may be impenetrable. This is heartbreaking, especially for those of us who've penned more condolence cards this past year than we have in a lifetime of clinical practice. But such is the reality of our society's self-inflicted wounds." Danielle Ofri is an internal medicine physician and editor-in-chief, Bellevue Literary Review. She can be reached at her self-titled site, Danielle Ofri. She shares her story and discusses her KevinMD article, "Emotional epidemiology of disease is as critical as clinical epidemiology."

In fact, a recent study by the VA showed that implementing RPM at a practice can reduce hospital readmission rates by as much as 25 percent, saving more than $20,000 per patient in medical costs. If you're not investing in RPM, you're missing out. Luckily, Athelas can help you roll out RPM end-to-end. They provide devices to your patients, handle 100 percent of billing, and even provide a team of nurses to monitor patient vitals for you. All at zero net cost to your practice.

Danielle Ofri experienced the pandemic firsthand at Bellevue Hospital in New York. As a primary care physician, Ofri makes life-long connections with her patients. She talks about the importance of recognizing the emotion that comes when a patient dies, how her experiences as a medical resident during the AIDS crisis shaped her career, and how the Covid-19 pandemic will have a similar career-sculpting effect on today's trainees. The conversation starts with Ofri's First Opinion essay, "My ‘postmortem' folder and the intensely personal nature of the latest Covid-19 surge."

In this episode, Film Forum Presents a conversation with Maria Sødahl, writer and director of the new film HOPE, and the film’s stars, Stellan Skarsgård and Andrea Bræin Hovig. Based on Sødahls’ real life experiences, HOPE centers on a couple played by Skarsgård and Hovig whose relationship is tested by crisis. The acclaimed drama was Norway’s official submission to the 2021 Oscars for Best International Feature Film. This episode’s event was co-presented by the Bellevue Literary Review, with editor-in-chief Danielle Ofri serving as moderator. HOPE is now playing theatrically at Film Forum and in our Virtual Cinema at www.filmforum.org. Special thanks to KimStim, Sasha Berman, Danielle Ofri and the Bellevue Literary Review for making this event possible. Photo by Agnete Brun.

Dr. Danielle Ofri is a doctor at Bellevue Hospital in New York City. She is one of the foremost voices in the medical world today, shining an unflinching light on the realities of healthcare and speaking passionately about the doctor-patient relationship. Her newest book is "When We Do Harm: A Doctor Confronts Medical Error." Ofri is a regular contributor to the New York Times and is also the editor-in-chief of the Bellevue Literary Review. She lives in New York City and is determined to get through the Bach cello suites before she kicks the bucket. In this episode: Medical error is the third leading cause of death? After heart disease and cancer. Intended audience for the book? A general audience; lay-public and medical professionals. It is difficult to define a medial error. Starting medication at wrong dose? What errors cause death? This can be vague. Hospitalized patients are different than the general public All sorts of patient harm should be brought to light — shift the medical field to “more safe” should be our goal. Once you are in the patient chair, one loses their strength and power. System flaws: more common error is a qualified professional who is burdened by design flaws — including false alarms. Collaboration and intellectual humility — recognizing we don’t know. Patients are sicker and more chronic conditions, mean collaboration helps reduce error. Denmark as an example to error response: acknowledge and apologize. The U.S. malpractice system as part of the problem. Qualifiers of malpractice: harm occurred, doctor was the cause, and consequence was big enough to make the case worthwhile. Who is making the laws about malpractice? Could be an underlining agenda. Recourse for patients: 1. Talk with doctor or nurse. 2. The hospital’s patient advocate. 3. Insurance patient advocates. 4. Local Board of Health. 5. Keep notes, and have a paper trail. The system is not designed to get information easy — take advantage of CARES Act. When transparency backfires; if a doctor is treating high risk patients, then their error will be higher. Doctors penalized for spending more time with a patient. The need for silence or time to think. The problem with the “reimbursement” model. Medical error, adverse events, and unintended consequences. Over-treating and over-diagnosis in regard to prostate or thyroid. Statute of limitations. Errors that don’t cause harm. Wash your hands and stop and think.

Our 4th most downloaded episode this year was Episode 153 - Is our biggest strength our greatest weakness?

Imagine you're working at a hospital and you notice something isn't right: what do you do? Season One and Two of Dr Death featured medical professionals who crossed the line. Laura Beil speaks with Dr. Danielle Ofri, author of “When We Do Harm: A Doctor Confronts Medical Error.”

Hippocrates set a high bar. [Hope your Thanksgiving was excellent, safe, and happy! We didn't record anything this week, so here's a rerun for you.]Dr. Danielle Ofri–NYU professor of medicine, Bellevue Hospital internist, and author of great renown–joined us this time to talk about her new book, When We Do Harm: A Doctor Confronts Medical Error.  Examining medical errors is a something all good physicians do–sometimes on a stage in front of their colleagues but often surreptitiously. However, “mistakes were made” simply isn't acceptable to most patients and lawyers. Meanwhile, the shame felt by practitioners who make mistakes is not only unhelpful but hinders their development and can contribute to burnout and depression.   Because of the consequences of shame are so dire, Dr. Ofri argues in her book that confronting mistakes in a humane, understanding, and open fashion is vital.  Not many years ago, a headline grabbed her attention:  medical errors are the third-leading cause of death in the United States.  How can that be? she wondered.  If people were dying at that rate, wouldn't physicians have noticed this earlier?  Of course, it turns out that the story of medical error is much more complicated than that headline would lead one to believe, and set Dr. Ofri on the path to this latest book.  Join MD/PhD student Aline Sandouk, M4 Marisa Evers, M2 Jessica De Haan, and M4 Anne Nora for this discussion on the sources of error, the causes, and the ways to understand and learn from the inevitable. We also discuss her and her colleagues' experiences fighting COVID-19 in New York City and learning about the disease in real time. We Want to Hear From You How'd we do on this week's show?

We need to talk about electronic medical records. Dr. Danielle Ofri certainly does. Why? The physician-author of the newly published volume, *When We Do Harm,* tells our Jonathon Swersey, on the latest episode of this podcast: “I was just tearing my hair out” because a patient requested a biopsy report and she spent nearly 45 minutes trying to extract it from the EMR. When Ofri says “now it falls on the clinicians to somehow find time to customize the EMR to make it workable,” you get a vivid sense of how EMRs contribute to physician burnout. Ofri, it turns out, has all kinds of strong opinions. Listen to this episode and you'll learn, for instance, how *shame* functions in the world of medical error. (After making an error as a second-year resident, she says: “It took me 20 years till I could talk about and write about it.”) Ofri also discusses the naming of medicines, the common good and American healthcare, and what it's like to practice medicine during the current pandemic and prepare for the next one. Attend to Ofri, *Resonance Test* listeners. When she speaks, she does good. Host: Kyle Wing Editor: Kyp Pilalas Producer: Ken Gordon

Nursing ErrorsGuest: Danielle Ofri, attending physician at Bellevue Hospital, clinical professor of medicine at NYU School of Medicine, Editor-in-Chief of the "Bellevue Literary Review," and author of "When We Do Harm: A Doctor Confronts Medical Error"Medical errors are all statistics until they happen to someone you know. How and when do doctors and nurses screw up? And is being done to lower the odds? Dr. Danielle Ofri's new book tackles the statistics and the stories behind them, including her own near fatal mistake misreading a chart when she was a young doctor. How a Hungarian Physician Saved Women from Childbed Fever and Became the ‘Savior of Mothers'Guest: Anthony Valerio, editor and teacher, author of “Semmelweis”Long before anyone knew what a germ was, in the 1840s, a young Hungarian doctor in Vienna fought to get doctors and nurses to wash their hands. He was ignored, and ultimately driven from the profession. And unnecessary deaths continued for decades to come. We now have a term for what happened. "Semmelweiss Syndrome" happens when experts ignore evidence because it contradicts their traditions and biases.
