The term never event refers to all kinds of mistakes that ought to
never happen in medical practise, from faulty diagnosis to administering
the wrong (dosage of) medication or anesthesia to whatnot - but
unfortunately these things do happen, sometimes with tragic to lethal
consequences, so much so that medical errors are considered the third
leading cause of death in the USA. And this film shines a light on
preventable medical harm from pretty much all perspectives, from the
patient's as well as the doctor's (and staff's) side, but also from the
legal and the insurance side of things - and also presents possible ways
to move forward ... Now I have to admit, Never Events is
not the most uplifting documentary, and to be fair, was never designed to
be, as it doesn't shy away from the ugly side of things and from tragedy -
and it definitely isn't a film that makes you look forward to your next
stay at the hospital. But what makes this documentary work as a
documentary is that isn't just a lop-sided portrayal of doom and gloom,
especially in the end it does also try to deliver positive messages and
freely admits that medical malpractice is despite everything still a
rarity and measures are continually undertaken to improve things. But it's
that levelled approach that makes this documentary such an eye-opener, on
something that one admittedly doesn't really want to think about, and the
film sure carries a wealth of information to come across as more than just
propaganda.
