- catalog abstract "How safe is your hospital? After his daughter's death, Sidney Zion launched a fiery campaign against New York Hospital, its doctors, and our entire medical infrastructure that centered on that question. Eventually, his efforts led to sweeping reforms in the rules governing hospitals in America and abroad, and made the name Libby Zion a buzzword for medical malpractice. Recently, viewers across the country were mesmerized by Court TV's dramatic trial coverage of the wrongful death suit Zion brought against the hospital and the doctors involved in Libby's care. But the jury's controversial verdict raised as many questions as it answered, and the proceedings failed to fully address the life-and-death issues at the heart of the case: the hidden protocols that govern the way our hospitals really operate. . Now, acclaimed investigative writer Natalie Robins delivers the inside account of this compelling modern tragedy, an object lesson in what happens when modern bureaucracies and complex family dynamics collide. Based on interviews with principals in the case, family members, friends, and hundreds of medical experts and educators, her book reveals the truth about Libby Zion's life and death and takes readers into the training grounds and hospital corridors of America's premiere medical institutions to confront the people who actually make the pivotal decisions when lives hang in the balance.".
