Rogue surgeons, overburdened hospitals, medical mismanagement, doctor shortages... The story of Australia's own "Dr Death", Jayent Patel, is symptomatic of a tidal wave heading towards all modern healthcare systems. In this absorbing book, the authors have ploughed through the mass of public inquiry data, interviewing key figures in the affair to reveal in gripping detail how it happened, who was to blame and how it can be avoided. Drawing on international cases and experiences, they reveal how institutional weaknesses are able to be exploited by individuals with serious personality problems just like Patel. Hospitals worldwide are facing increasing pressures from staff shortages and the need to manage financial considerations that impact directly on their ability to adequately manage patient care. This is a story relevant and timely for all who are part of a modern complex healthcare network. from hospital administrators to doctors, nurses, ancillary staff and the patients themselves. The case of the Bundaberg Hospital and its infamous "Dr Death" could be happening again right now in your own modern overburdened healthcare system.
