The practice of medicine is unlike other goods and services on a multitude of fronts, and so it really is difficult to compare it meaningfully in this way.
The scenario that you bring forth is a prime example of a reason why this sort of information should not be publicly disseminated....in this case, it would feed those with a passion for fevered and hysterical conspiracy theories about a massive 'surgeon's cabal' intent upon killing patients instead of helping them. At the moment, the only group I'm seeing who gives credence to this sort of thing are the Islamofascists who make TV series and movies about Jewish doctors abducting Palestinian children in order to murder them for their organs, which they sell to the highest (Jewish) bidder for transplants.
In the EXTREMELY rare times in the past when there has been criminal activity of the sort that you relate, the most meaningful information that ultimately cracked the case has always come from Nurses and other doctors, not from some "reporter' who wants to win a prize or sell a book.
Raw statistics such as these are meaningless when taken out of context, and they will be eagerly distorted and misrepresented by those who either have an agenda of some sort or simply are oblivious to the realities of how modern medicine is practiced in modern hospitals, or both.
