After their infant daughter is severely scalded in an unfortunate household accident, the King family awaits her release from a prestigious hospital after seventeen days in recovery. Unfortunately, before she can be released, little Josie King suddenly enters cardiac arrest and dies. Even more tragic, her death was the result of avoidable medical errors. Shocked to learn that their family’s situation is not uncommon, the Kings use their court settlement to establish one of the country’s preeminent patient safety groups - The Josie King Foundation. Written with heart-breaking honesty, Josie's Story: A Mother's Inspiring Crusade to Make Medical Care Safe is an eye-opening account of one family’s journey to prevent medical errors and improve patient safety standards.

Josie's Story: A Mother's Inspiring Crusade to Make Medical Care Safe by Sorrel King is the May selection of the ADVANCE Book Club for Nurses.
