Publisher Description

Seventeen-year-old Jesica Santillan's death as a result of receiving mismatched organs was a tragedy not only for Jesica and her family, but also for her transplant surgeon, James Jaggers, for Duke Medical Center, and for the whole organ transplantation community. (1) Her death exemplified the importance of designing systems that prevent medical error; the moral, legal, and psychosocial perplexities of dealing with medical error; the fragility of trust in health care institutions; and some of the dilemmas involved in organ procurement and allocation.
