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).
I acknowledge your point, and accept it offers a layer of complications, "to bear in mind".
However, without consent is the murder of a terminally ill individual less a murder than of a healthy individual ?
While I personally believe in one's right to end their own life, I've seen many linger in long and horrible pain.
Do any have the right to implement euthanasia without ones knowledge, request and or consent ?
Since we are all on the way to the grave, anyone who expedites that process is guilty of facilitating a premature death, I think.
But your point noted, none the less. Tks for sharing...
