In this episode:
Who Monitors Your Rights in the Hospital? - Although most of your interactions in the hospital are with physicians, nurses, and other clinicians, the hospital's management team, led by the CEO, works to uphold your rights. If you ever feel your patient rights have been violated in a hospital, you shouldn't hesitate to bring this complaint to the attention of a hospital manager.
