In this episode of ‘Inside Medical Malpractice’ Chris Rokosh has a conversation she’s been wanting to have for almost 10 years. Stanford University Hospital Patient Liaison Leilani Schweitzer tells the story of how her 20-month-old son Gabriel died at after a series of medical errors. The story of Gabriel’s death is heart breaking. But the story of how transparency, compassion and truth can heal in the aftermath of medical error, is a gift. Leilani now works in risk management at the same hospital where her son died, using her own painful experience to help others through theirs. One of the most thought-provoking quotes from this episode? “Pretending a bad thing didn’t happen is not going to make it go away, it likely is going to make it worse.” Take the time to watch Leilani's TEDx talk 'Transparency, Compassion, and Truth in Medical Errors'.
