NEW YORK (WABC) -- You go to the hospital to get well, but an alarming number of people die after something goes wrong.

Consumer Reports has rated thousands of hospitals across the country, looking at patient safety.

John James has dedicated himself to improving hospital safety. His teenage son died after what James says was a series of hospital errors.

"We got humans here. They make mistakes. The real question is are they making too many mistakes and are they learning from the ones they make? And my answer is they're not learning as well as they could be," said John James, patient safety advocate.
