The Second Victim
• “a health care provider involved in an unanticipated
adverse patient event, medical error and/or a patient
related-injury who become victimized in the sense that
the provider is traumatized by the event. Frequently,
second victims feel personally responsible for the
unexpected patient outcomes and feel as though they have
failed their patient, and feel doubts about their clinical
skills and knowledge base.”1
