Nothing to see here: 10% of all deaths in the US are due to medical errors in hospitals and clinics.
From John Hopkins website - 2016:
SHARE FAST FACTS *10 percent of all U.S. deaths are now due to medical error. *Third highest cause of death in the U.S. is medical error *Medical errors are an under-recognized cause of death
"Analyzing medical death rate data over an eight-year period, Johns Hopkins patient safety experts have calculated that more than 250,000 deaths per year are due to medical error in the U.S"
Good book to get: "Unaccountable: What Hospitals Won’t Tell You and How Transparency Can Revolutionize Health Care" by Marty Makary (Bloomsbury Press, 2012).
THIS is the reason Doctors are selling out to Big Pharma and going to work for them. Big Pharma takes care of any malpractice lawsuits. You cannon go against your employer when he is covering your butt! Just about all hospitals and medical centers are owned by Big Pharma.
