Credentialing Chronicles
Episode 37: Track, Treat or Die
🎙️ Hosts: Shannen & Nyleen
A 12-month-old infant suffers a catastrophic brain injury.
An on-call neurosurgeon is scrubbed in and ready.
An operating room is prepared for emergency surgery.
Then administration delivers the fatal message: “The patient was transferred.”
He wasn’t.
In this episode of Credentialing Chronicles, Shannen and Nyleen break down a devastating case involving a Michigan hospital that allegedly lost track of a critically injured infant, canceled life-saving surgery without verification, and then retaliated against the surgeon instead of addressing the systemic failure.
This wasn’t a clinical error.
This was an administrative breakdown with lethal consequences.
We unpack patient safety failures, credentialing retaliation, EMTALA risk, and why “checking the box” is never a substitute for verifying reality.
