QSEN: The Lewis Blackman Story (Part One)

- Helen Haskell is the mother of Lewis Blackman, a 15-year-old boy who died in a hospital following routine surgery. This series of videos were part of a lecture and interviews with Ms. Haskell recorded at the UNC-Chapel Hill School of Nursing in summer 2009. The videos were recorded and produced as part of the Quality and Safety Education for Nurses (QSEN) project. See www.qsen.org for more information.
Helen, my nurse educator colleagues and I viewed these videos at a QSEN symposium several years ago. We have since integrated them into teaching pre-licensure nursing students near the end of the nursing program. Nurses are the advocates. Patients and their families are vulnerable in a foreign system--the hospital. Thank you for initiating the patient-safety movement in memory of Lewis and for all patients that need front-line advocates.
Tragic, the medical system truly failed your son. Thank you for your efforts in ensuring these mistakes are not repeated.
What a powerful, thoughtful and devoted mother, dedicated to her son. It seems that you can't help but be a patient advocate and you do it so well. This is such a tragic story but your advocacy and message give it meaning and purpose. Thank you Helen for helping to better our western health care systems. Wishing you and your family all the best. Lewis is so proud of his mom!

It was very tragic. The healthcare system totally failed to take the responsibilities of healthcare providers. The quality healthcare services are now in questions. Anyhow, you are appreciated for your great efforts to prevent such careless, dreadful medical errors.
WOw...so very sad and absolutely preventable!
Great lesson ! Thank you!
I am sory for your loss mam.
It is extremely sad
this is just so shocking.
This is due to a fragmented and UNSAFE Healthcare system including the nurses taking care of the patient and lack of experienced healthcare doctors and LACK and BREAKDOWN of COMMUNICATION W/ the ATTENDING MD..
SAD & TRAGIC and SHOULD NOT HAPPENED...
6:05 the worst kind of nurse. no advocacy for the patient or the family. They think they are always right. instead choose to argue with the family
