Episode #39 - A Never-Event Case in the OR

In this Season 5 finale episode of Face the Jury, Lloyd Bell shares the heartbreaking story of a 10-year-old girl who suffered severe facial burns after a preventable surgical fire broke out during a routine eyelid procedure. What should have been a simple outpatient operation turned into a traumatic medical emergency, one made worse by altered medical records. Listen today as we discuss:

• What a "never event" is and why surgical fires still happen
• The critical system failures that lead to these types of errors 
• The importance of listening to your instincts and investigating 

This case is a powerful reminder of why accountability, communication, and patient safety protocols matter, especially when lives and futures are at stake.
