Big medicine can make you sick
New York City’s top hospital faced scrutiny after the Libby Zion case. Dr. David Axelrod announced new rules to limit unsupervised intern hours to 12 in hospitals statewide, ending the “macho” training system. The reforms require experienced doctors on duty 24 hours and aim to prevent patient harm from fatigue and misdiagnosis. Zion’s father, a former prosecutor, led the push for accountability, with a grand jury report backing the reforms. The case also touched Warhol’s death and broader hospital practices, underscoring a shift toward patient safety over institutional protection.
