Celebration and grief compete on Mother’s Day when medical negligence is involved

Carmen Balber is joined for Mother’s Day by Tammy Smick, Consumer Watchdog board member who lost her 20-year-old son Alex when the medical providers he went to for care gave him a toxic cocktail of medications in the hospital. Tammy shares how Alex gives her strength and tells lawmakers it’s time to change California’s 1975 malpractice law that prevents families who lose loved ones from getting justice.
