Entering the healthcare system can be risky at any time, but is even riskier during the Christmas holidays, over long weekends and on July 1st. In this episode, Chris Rokosh talks with Barb Legate, a well-respected and highly experienced medical negligence lawyer from London, Ontario. Listen in as they discuss a case of newborn injury that unfolded over the Christmas holidays in the special care nursery of a large teaching hospital. This was a case of newborn jaundice that progressed to kernicterus, one of the 12 Never Events for hospitals in Canada. Hear some of the surprising details of the case, and the highs and lows and outcome of the multi week trial. Chris presents two lines of thought behind the phenomenon known as ‘The Christmas Effect’ and offers ideas on keeping yourself, or your loved ones, safe if you end up in the hospital this holiday season. Barb offers up thoughts on what we all need to know about medical malpractice (She says you’re not a real doctor until you’re sued) and how she would change healthcare and law if she could.
