They explain how healthcare is not just medicine but also a business, and how that tension can sometimes affect patient care in ways families never see.\nThis episode is honest, emotional, and incredibly important for patients and families, doctors and nurses, healthcare leaders, and anyone navigating the healthcare system.\nAt Van Wey & Metzler Law Firm in Dallas, Texas, Kay Van Wey and her team advocate for families affected by medical malpractice, hospital negligence, birth injuries, surgical errors, preventable medical mistakes, and healthcare system failures.\nBecause accountability in healthcare is not about blame. It is about protecting patients. And supporting the people trying to care for them.\nListen to more episodes: https://www.vanweylaw.com/advokayte-podcasts/\nLearn more about Van Wey & Metzler: https://www.vanweylaw.com/\n#PatientSafety #MedicalMalpractice #HealthcareAccountability #HospitalSafety...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/ACUAWAuskVZB96h477ijBkGBeQ9EEPkCx3DKXf9k02I/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS82ZTc2/ZDE3MDBjM2IwMDhm/M2YwOTc0Mjk2OTZk/MDc3My5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
