A visit to a hospital is almost inevitable. You may be the patient, or you may tend to a loved one who requires a hospital stay. Medical errors are the fourth leading cause of death in the United States, making the hospital a dangerous place to be. Every year, nearly 2 million hospital-acquired infections claim roughly 100,000 lives.
Why do these things happen? What can you do about them?
See Pat Rullo, a nationally known speaker and coach in the insurance industry and who has served on the advisory boards of New York Life Insurance Company and Transamerica Life Insurance Company answer these questions. She is recognized through Consulting Psychologists Press as a certified administrator and interpreter of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, an assessment instrument that provides in-depth insights into personality type and behavior. Pat is the author of numerous business magazine articles as well as the books – Worksite Marketing, a promise to deliver and Succeed with Style, and is the founder of the charity Sewport Our Troops.
