- Medications, often taken without much thought, pose significant risks despite their widespread use and this is why medication-related events rank as the fourth leading cause of death, surpassing diabetes, AIDS, and even automobile accidents. What's more tragic is that many of these incidents are entirely preventable. In my talk, I reveal three simple yet crucial guidelines to shield yourself and your loved ones from harm while maximizing the benefits of medication: advocacy, communication, and education. By equipping yourself with these skills, you can navigate medication safety effectively, transforming it from a routine task into a life-saving skill for everyone.

Lidia, thank you for shining a light on such an important topic and for giving Andrew's life and story another platform. Patients and families have the right to ask questions and deserve support like the pharmacist gave you when you were supporting your mom.
her passion really comes through. You can tell she cares deeply about patient safety.
This information is life-saving. Everyone needs to know about ACE. Thank you for spreading awareness!
I love that she spoke about Dennis and didn't ram it down our throats like the impressions he had on her was so huge it influenced her whole life.
A really important message - thanks for this presentation, Lidia.
Love how she empowers us to take control of our healthcare. It's not just up to the doctors and nurses.
Thank you so much for this compassionate and eye opening talk! I love how there is no blame placed, just education and empowerment to take responsibility for one's own health.
It’s eye-opening to see how common medication errors are and the serious consequences they can have. Just because someone wears a lab coat and has a stethoscope doesn't mean they can't make mistakes. We need to take responsibility for our own health by staying informed and asking questions. Great message! More people need to hear this.
Your TedTalk shed much-needed light on the flaws within our medical system. Your passion and insight are inspiring, and your call to action is vital for positive change, well said! 😊
Thank you so much for sharing such an important matter with everyone, Lidia! Letting us speak up and use our voice about our concerns. To not only follow the instructions but also ask why, when and how. To be curious and cautious is to learn to ask questions and watch out for ourselves and our loved ones.
Great presentation Lidia! An important topic that many don’t think about. We all need to be vigilant and ensure safety for ourselves and others. Ask questions and be informed, medications are important but they need to be used properly.
It's good to hear a healthcare professional admit that the system isn't perfect. We need more of that honesty.
My husband has been accompanying my mother to all her healthcare appointments and he always takes notes, it definitely helps
I love how she uses the acronym ACE - advocate, communicate, educate. Super helpful way to remember the key points.
Such an important topic! So important to ask questions and get clarification when needed!
I had not realized the importance of ACE. Thank you for helping me understand the risks. Excellent delivery with compelling stories!
Lidia, thank you for such an informative talk on an important subject. As a doctor we see med errors all the time. Your ACE is great! It should be incorporated as part of the med school curriculum
It's crazy how one small mistake in dosing can have such devastating consequences. Really puts things in perspective.
Amazing presentation. Very powerful and thought provoking.
Incredible information necessary for each person navigating and advocating for their or their loved ones health!
Man the story about her daughter in the hospital is so crazy and it definitely made me teary, especially when she said "this must be why I became a pharmacist" 😭
It's really interesting to hear about stuff like this, there are so many more oversights and preventable accidents than what you hear about normally, I'm glad to hear someone putting out some information on how to avoid some of it
Such a compelling presentation!
I definitely had a false perception of “safety” when it came to getting a prescription and picking up that prescription…I guess I assumed that if they had the training and the job that they were infallible. This was a very eye-opening watch for me! 🤨 thanks for sharing this with the world Lidia and Tedx! 💯
Great message. I’m always annoyed when doctors get upset at patients who do their google research. The doctors sometime feel offended, but heck, as your talk shows, doctors and nurses are often wrong. Patients need to be confident enough to stick up for themselves. Often search engines (and now AI assisted searches) can help laymen diagnose their conditions. Doctors and nurses should be grateful for this additional oversight. Well done!
must admit, it's wild to think about how many lives could be saved if everyone followed these simple tips... hopefully the message spreads
Very educative !!! Congrats on such an amazing talk!
Oh my goodness I had no idea it was so much of an issue?? So glad someone is talking about it and getting the information out there
It's actually very scary to think about how many medication errors happen every day. We all need to be more vigilant!
This talk is a wake-up call. We can't just blindly trust the healthcare system and while obviously not all of us can become pharmacists I think we can take more of a proactive approach
man, hearing about that little boy Andrew who died from a med error broke my heart. so tragic and preventable 💔
I admire how she didn't villainize healthcare workers. Mistakes happen, we just gotta work to prevent them.
"You can not have full trust in a system that's imperfect." This is how I feel about the whole world.
Needed to see this today, thanks Lidia
Thank you for sharing this message Lidia. It’s easy to blindly trust the system
There is some very useful advice in here, especially for those who might have trouble taking charge of their own health.
I've never thought about how tired doctors and nurses must be. No wonder mistakes happen. The system needs to change.
Okay wow this has me rethinking the way I take my medication. I know I'm supposed to take two pills twice a day with food but I just take them both at dinner time because sometimes I don't eat a full meal until then. I wonder if that's impacting me in some way?
Yes, depending on the medication you might have to space it out instead of taking 2 at once. Speak to your pharmacist and clarify!
I'm so surprised, delighted, and amazed that this woman hasn't been silenced. She's literally voicing so many things that conspiracy theorists love talking about but with logic and real statistics.
My issue is how quick doctors are to prescribe medication instead of taking the time to actually find the root cause of the problem and help treat it there. It's all just a way of keeping us sick and medicated
The fact that nearly a quarter of the population are using three or more medications is wild to me. What ever happened to preventative care?
