Description

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.
