翻译有偏差。请看amazon评论原文,病人有权对自己的医疗情況有知情权,但是也没有必要对医患关系对立起来,甚至煽风点火,火上浇油。原书是2003年出版的,和目前的情况又有不同了。原文是Wall of Silence: The Untold Story of the Medical Mistakes That Kill and Injure Millions of Americans Book Description
Publication Date: May 2003
Medical mistakes occur with alarming frequency in this country. Nightly newscasts and daily newspapers tell of botched surgeries, mistaken patient identities, careless overdoses, and neglected diagnoses. You may have dismissed these stories as unfortunate mistakes, misunderstandings, or just isolated incidents with the occasional bad doctor.
Wall of Silence reveals that these medical mistakes are not rare incidents with the occasional bad doctor. In fact, the real-life stories in this book show that medical mistakes are increasing in frequency—and worse, that the system is designed more to cover up these errors than prevent them.
