There is a common belief that medical mistakes "just happen," and that the average patient can do little more than to "hope for the best." As a nurse with more than 30 years experience in the Operating Room, however, I can assure you that a little knowledge can dramatically improve your own outcome, or that of a loved one undergoing surgery.
Dear Readers: I have temporarily discontinued my weekly updates to this site to compile my first electronic book! Please be sure to download your own copy of Frenchies Hospital Survival Tips to find out what really goes on in the Operating Room and to learn everything you need to know to ensure the best possible surgical outcome for yourself or a loved one.
