I read a hilarious article yesterday about a couple of nurses who stayed in college long enough to get a PhD. in something. They then went back to being nurses and demanded that they be referred to as “doctor”. A couple of real Jill Bidens. Had “doctor” written all over everything. What a clown show.

I would be very skeptical of that number

I'm not skeptical at all. My wife was almost killed by a simple bladder infection and she was treated by an internal medical physician. He prescribed the wrong medicine and she wound up in ICU. If anything the number is too low.

I have (in the opinion of many), including atty people, a legitimate claim (administered remdesivir against my phlebotomist daughter's protestations) ... causing a heart attack and other complications.

I have a particular congenital condition (I'm 75, the "offense" occurred when I was 73 . . . time's almost up . . stat of lims) . . . and I have been advised as I described

Fauci’s flu achieved this “goal” all by itself ... and we marked that by setting the little, evil b@stard up for life!

Of course not giving your care provider the whole truth messes up any diagnosis

I don’t remember but I did take it with me when visiting here in ICU. As it happened the University Medical Professor was going room to room with his students. I showed him the medication and his eyes widened. “Dr. X prescribed this for bladder infection”? I knew then something was amiss. My wifes pancreas shut down and didn’t produce insulin and subsequently her blood sugar went sky high. When went to the emergency room, the ER said her condition was deadly serious and asked if this had happened before. I said no. He diagnosed her with diabetic ketoacidosis.
Anyway she survived and later Dr. X said he didn’t know what happened. But I knew. We changed doctors. The latest one isn’t much better though.

Now do “properly prescribed medications.”

Now compare supplements.

I don’t believe this figure.

Me neither. It is likely a magnitude of order higher.

Glad she made it. DKA is puzzling.
Was it new onset?

Maybe "Doctor I AM SCIENCE" can take credit for that many alone.

Yes. I thought that was supposed to for type 1 diabetes patients.

I don’t believe this figure.

Despite my own negative experiences with multiple doctors, I would have thought this number was too high also...until 2020, when I watched the entire medical industry go along with the biggest scam ever perpetrated on humanity, both in the initial hysteria and the support of mass distribution of experimental drugs afterward. What suspicions I had before are now proven fact.

The Most Significant Statements listed :

"The researchers, from Johns Hopkins and the Risk Management Foundation of the Harvard Medical Institutions, looked at 15 diseases
and concluded that 371,000 Americans died and 424,000 were permanently disabled as a result of misdiagnoses."

"About 75% of the serious harms happen in connection with vascular events, infections and cancers.
In all, 15 diseases account for nearly 51% of the serious harms."

"Five conditions -- stroke, sepsis, pneumonia, venous thromboembolism and lung cancer -- cause nearly 39% of total serious harms."

this hardly comes as a surprise to ANYONE dealing with a rare or unusual disorder.

I would be very skeptical of that number but it does have the imprimatur of Johns Hopkins and Harvard.

Which, IMO, means they are probably undercounting it.

I had a MRSA infection in 2012 and the hospital seemed to be doing it’s level best to kill me off.

By the grace of God, they didn’t.

No wonder the fake scamdemic was embraced by the hospitals. they saw dollar signs and were used to killing people.
My mom had a doctor do something about the ulcer she had and she nearly died from what he did. She went back to the doctor as she explained that he knew what he did wrong so wasn’t likely to do so again.
My 34 year old nephew was killed by the deadly chinese virus vaccine in minnesota last year.
My aunt broke her hip and took a year to die from the infection that set in from the hospital.
My cousin died some years after getting a heart stent from a heart attack at 55 years old.

Practicing medicine...
A person who graduates last in medical school is called a doctor.
Doctors bury their mistakes.
