How Far Are You Prepared to Go to Save the Life of Someone You Love? 371,000 patients die every year in the U.S. from preventable medical errors; 424,000 are left with ongoing disabilities (Johns Hopkins & Harvard). Rosie and Steve knew nothing of this when they had to move out of state for his liver transplant, due to an impossibly long waiting list in their home state of California.`Several years before he had been diagnosed with "non-alcoholic, cryptogenic, end-stage liver disease." If You'd Only Listen is a trip through medical hell, but thanks to Rosie's midwestern tomboy grit and determination, she prevailed over a medical system that seemed bent on defeating them. The horror is leavened only by Rosie's wicked sense of humor. The ADDENDUM presents a deep dive into the realities of medical errors, the influence of private equity in healthcare, the pervasive issues of racial bias as well as practical recommendations for how you can prevent errors from ending the life of someone you love.
