I was fortunate to finally meet Sorrel King (@JKFoundation), who spoke at the Kaiser Permanente Center for Total Health (@KPTotalHealth) this week.
She recounted the story of her daughter Josie’s death, from preventable medical error, at Johns Hopkins University, in 2001. I learned about her story in 2006. It’s now 2017.
