In the News: Laura Beil on Patient Safety in Texas Monthly

Leading healthcare journalist Laura Beil, the creator of the Dr. Death podcast, is back with another blockbuster patient safety piece in Texas Monthly. The article, entitled It Should Have Been a Routine Procedure, tells the story of Kimberly Ray, a young mother who tragically lost her life in a North Texas surgical center.

Executive Director Ware Wendell noted how imbalanced our medical malpractice laws are in Texas, stating, "The fear is of doctors suing hospitals, not patients suing doctors or patients suing hospitals. Patients have been downgraded completely.”

Laura was also interviewed about her in-depth article on the Texas Standard.
