In this eye-opening episode of the Wild Health Podcast, Dr. Carl Seger talks with Dr. Julie Siemers—a nurse leader, patient safety consultant, and bestselling author of Surviving Your Hospital Stay . Drawing on 40+ years in healthcare, Dr. Siemers discusses how communication breakdowns, misdiagnoses, medication errors, and lack of patient advocacy continue to threaten safety in hospitals. Listeners will learn crucial, actionable tips: from checking hospital safety scores to speaking up using her "Three P's" (Be Present, Be Polite, Be Persistent) and "CUS" words (Concerned, Uncomfortable, Scared, Safety). Whether you're a patient, caregiver, or clinician, this conversation reveals how being informed and assertive can save lives.
