Download books file now A Never Event from 4shared, mediafire, hotfile, and mirror link In the small farming community of Fremont, Nebraska, townspeople eagerly welcomed an acclaimed doctor as the first full-time oncologist at their new cancer treatment center - but the fanfare soon turned into a nightmare. During chemotherapy treatments, 857 patients who were already waging the fights of their lives against cancer, were inexplicably exposed to the deadly, blood-borne hepatitis C virus. At least ninety-nine of them contracted the lethal illness. The horror was unprecedented - this was the largest healthcare-trannsmitted outbreak of hepatitis C in American history. "A Never Event" - a term used to describe a preventable medical tragedy - is a searing story of recklessness, deception and betrayal. It's part mystery, part courtroom drama. Written by a survivor of the tragedy and an attorney who represented many of the victims. A Never Event is a wake-up call to medical and legal communities nationwide.

This title was a selection for my book group, and I approached reading it with dread that it would be so steeped in medical jargon that I would get lost. This is definitely not the case. The authors used just the right blend of medical facts with the humanity of the patients involved. Discussion and interest at the book group was stimulating. Many husbands came with wives in the hope of unnderstanding how this "never event" happened. The book includes a useful timeline of the Nebraska Hepatitis C Outbreak and information about Hepatitis C. Read it on your own or make it a book group selection--just read it.By J. Barnes
This book is a must read for patients, healthcare workers, healthcare administrators and anyone else who loves an excellent true story. This will force you be certain that if you are a healthcare worker,you will always be sure you do the right thing, and if you are not, you will watch to be sure your caregiver is doing the right thing. Bravo to Evelyn McKnight and Travis Bennington for recounting with the TRUTH the harsh reality of what could happen to any one of us! Thank you for sharing this, the truth was evident with every page!By Doc
