‘How Medical Malpractice Fails Everyone,’ big changes coming to Rhode Island hospitals, and more


Listen Later

It's been a big week for healthcare in Rhode Island. The state's largest hospital system is changing its name, and two cash-strapped hospitals will soon have a new owner. Also, a new documentary explores the impact of the medical malpractice system on doctors, patients, and our society at large. We talk with a Rhode Island emergency room doctor featured in the film, and one of the documentary’s co-directors. And we hear from the writer and director behind “God Talks to an Agnostic," a radio play exploring the complicated role of the Black church in the life of a person struggling with their spirituality. Plus: Tips on accessing affordable and reliable internet after the end of the COVID-era Affordable Connectivity program, more highlights from the week in Rhode Island politics, and our picks for what to do this week.

The post ‘How Medical Malpractice Fails Everyone,’ big changes coming to Rhode Island hospitals, and more appeared first on TPR: The Public's Radio.
