Each year, an estimated 100,000 people die from preventable medical errors.  In PodLit # 7, actress Helena Ruoti reads aloud Ruthann Robson's essay, "Notes from a Difficult Case," which chronicles her experience as a patient misdiagnosed with terminal cancer--and on the verge of becoming another statistic.   Originally published in issue 21, Rage & Reconciliation: Inspiring a Health Care Revolution, Robson's essay won the Creative Nonfiction $10,000 Best Essay Award.  Rage & Reconciliation was republished by Southern Methodist University Press last year.   For more information about Creative Nonfiction, the journal and the genre, visit www.creativenonfiction.org or e-mail us at [email protected].
