Patient neglect

"Patient neglect" as a book category covers works that examine the failure to provide adequate care to sick, disabled, or vulnerable people—whether through individual malice, caregiver burnout, institutional indifference, systemic understaffing, or policy failures. Titles in this category range from investigative journalism and legal exposés to memoirs by survivors and caregivers, hospital-set fiction and ethical case studies; common themes include accounts of harm or neglect, the human cost of bureaucratic systems, whistleblowing, accountability and reform efforts, and the moral and emotional struggles of those involved. The tone can be harrowing, compassionate, outraged, or reflective, and many books aim both to document specific injustices and to push for patient-safety improvements, policy change, or greater public awareness. This category appeals to readers interested in medical ethics, social justice, law and policy, caregiving, and real-life drama rooted in healthcare systems.
