Monday's program will feature an informative discussion with Dr. David Mayer, associate professor of anesthesiology and associate dean for curriculum in the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine. Dr. Mayer will discuss the powerful new film, "The Faces of Medical Error-From Tears to Transparency, The Story of Lewis Blackman" and how this instructional film will educate health-care professionals and patients. All the efforts of SAVE THE PATIENT promote positive and productive interactions between patients and medical professionals by encouraging individuals to know and implement their rights to ask questions, receive understandable answers, and explore medical options. "SAVE THE PATIENT's mission is to assist the public in becoming informed and, therefore, better health care consumers," noted President and Founder Lenore Janecek. Viewers, who wish to join discussions can call-in to pose questions or share concerns. "This new televised platform gives Chicago's diverse population a voice in matters affecting their use of health care," explained Janecek. "The open discussion format is designed to help mend the disparity between the wealth of health care resources available and the dearth of people who are actually aware of them." Ms. Janecek, a nationally known health care expert and author, is the host of this groundbreaking program. Check your local cable television listings for scheduled air times.
