Tracy Dominguez urges CA Senators to Vote Yes on SB 29
Tracy’s daughter Demi & her grandson Malakhi died due to medical negligence.  At the time, there were no pre-death pain and suffering damages available.
It’s time to ensure that justice is within our reach.  Vote Yes on SB 29

📻 🎙️ "It’s being called 'a sorely-needed long-awaited scorching documentary that should set the Long-Term Care Community, all Family Caregiver Policy Makers, and the country ablaze!' It is a documentary which shines a much needed light on something that is truly a national human emergency. The film is: No Country for Old People. Ed talks with writer, director, and producer Susie Singer-Carter."

Massively grateful for the EXCELLENT interview with talkshow host extraordinaire, Ed Kalegi, host of The Weekend with Ed Kalegi. You can listen to the whole 20 minute interview here ➡️ : https://t.co/fbggEHU2ia

“We're really going backwards. @MedBoardOfCA wants to create a program without having to adhere to uniform standards, which basically creates consequences and accountability for substance-abusing physicians in the program,” @PatientSafetyAd

This is an issue that I have worked on dating back to 2007. The @MedBoardOfCA must follow every aspect of the 2008 law that provides consequences for substance abusing physicians and gives the MBC the tools they need to protect California patients #medicalboardreform

It is Patient Safety Awareness Week and we are celebrating the advocacy of Denise Johnson. Denise's consistent advocacy is in honor of her son Richard but is for the betterment of all Californians #patientsafetyawarenessweek #advocacymatters #medicalnegligence #teamwork

[Consumer Watchdog @ConsumerWD]

Denise Johnson has chosen to become an advocate in honor of her son Richard.  Her advocacy has made such a difference in improving communication with the @MedBoardOfCA and in bridging the gap between patients and other stakeholders to make our healthcare system stronger, better.

[Michele M @PatientSafetyAd]

We celebrate Kimberly Turbin's patient advocacy today for Patient Safety Awareness Week. Kimberly is a valued medical board and maternal rights advocate. #patientsafetyawarenessweek #advocacymatters #medicalnegligence #teamwork

[Consumer Watchdog @ConsumerWD]

Kimberly Turbin chose to be a patient advocate for mothers & babies rights following her harm due to medical battery. She advocates those that have lost their lives making positive change in maternal health & @MedBoardOfCA reform.

A big thank you to our volunteer team of advocates who worked hard to gain the @MedBoardOfCA and #caleg support for the required interview, complaint notification tracking system, and consumer input priorities #PatientSafetyAwarenessWeek #medicalnegligence #advocacy4change

Working together with our team and watching our advocacy change policy and legislation has given Maria Ibarra Navarrette a purpose to continue to improve the systems that failed her brother and so many other Californians.

It is Patient Safety Awareness Week and a time to not only remember the Californians we have lost but our families who advocate to make the system safer for all #patientsafetyawarenessweek #advocateforchange #safer together #medicalnegligence

[Consumer Watchdog @ConsumerWD]

Happy Patient Safety Awareness Week.

Know your rights to offer a Patient Impact Statement to the @MedBoardOfCA

🚨Consumer Alert 🚨

New Consumer Rights: The Medical Board of California Will Now Accept Patient Impact Statements from Families When Their Complaints are Investigated

The insurance industry is trying to do away with a law that has saved Californians billions of dollars on our car & home insurance premiums.
Prop 103’s public participation process, hailed as the strongest in the nation, keeps industry & regulators honest

[Michele M @PatientSafetyAd]

Per @propublica Doctors disciplined by our state medical boards or settled malpractice cases are now working for health insurers as medical directors ruling on thousands of requests for medical care and can deny your needed procedures and tests. https://t.co/vZ8JqqbhQ0

“Is the @ICRicardoLara finally ready to prove how his plan will get a single new homeowner access to insurance in California?
The only evidence we have – bill language circulated by his top deputy – says that promise is false,” @carmenbalber

Consumer Watchdog Calls Out #BigOil’ Greed & Disinformation!
“Five oil refiners control 98% of the gasoline supply in California and this oligopoly has abused its market powers to keep gasoline prices artificially high to its great financial benefit.”

Remembering CA patient advocate Suzan Shinazy's niece Taylor who is featured as one of the Floridians whose family was impacted by this law that their family is fighting to change #medicalnegligence

[Consumer Watchdog @ConsumerWD]

The Florida “Free Kill” law only allows those patients that survive their #medicalnegligence to bring a malpractice suit. Damages cannot be recovered by families if a patient dies who is 25 yrs or older, is unmarried/widowed, and has no children under 25.

[Consumer Watchdog @ConsumerWD]

Consumer advocates will address the @MedBoardOfCA at a public hearing today to persuade the Board to follow the law and ensure that doctors entering programs for substance abuse face appropriate monitoring by the Board and consequences if they relapse.https://t.co/ljVSnmx9p9
