RNCentral has compiled a list of 25 tips to help protect yourself from medical errors. My personal favorites are:
- #2 Ask questions –you need to know what’s going on
- #4 Don’t forget the details –small details can matter, and your caregiver should be interested
- #16 More isn’t always better –the context here is surgery, but I would expand the scope of this advice
- #22 Follow up on your test results –don’t assume no news is good news
- #25 Ask a family member or friend to be there –I recommend a doctor if possible
