Eric Turkewitz on how BIDMC is dealing with their medical mistake: “If more hospitals and doctors acknowledged mistakes and sought to learn from them — as Beth Israel Deaconess is doing — it would probably go a long way to putting medical malpractice attorneys out of business. And the reason is really quite simple, and human. Worse than being injured by negligence is adding insult to the injury by covering it up.”
