A study published in the prominent medical journal BMJ concluded that errors by doctors and hospitals kills more than 250,000 people a year in the US. That's more than strokes, respiratory disease, and Alzheimers.

Medical malpractice reform now!
Time for “common sense” doctor control
If my doctor cops an attitude and quits ... I’m gunnin’ for the americanthinker.com for publishing this boojit
Probably underestimates the real number by a factor of 10, given the nature of institutions to cover up events that expose them to liability.
All the healthiest people I know never see a doctor. Ever.
It’s because we don’t have a “health” care system. We have a “sick” care system. If you’re not profitably sick these institutions have no use for you, and all the incentives are to never find a cure for anything, just perpetually more expensive treatments to keep the gravy train rolling.
I know two doctors who have already left the profession, rather than put up with the Federal meddling in their practices.
I think it’s “doctor safety”.
Not surprised, we are overloading the system with all of the illegal immigrants being let in along with legal immigrants.
Guns don’t kill people doctors do. :-)
Not to knock doctors but I’ve always thought of hospitals as a place you got to die.
I have often wondered what do doctors who quit and have debt do for a living? Real estate, insurance?
Has happened in my family. Nurse gave my grandfather the wrong medication and it stopped his breathing. Luckily they were able to get him back.
Just recently my mom had surgery to repair a hiatal hernia. She had some nausea probably from the anaethesia, was vomiting when I got to her room. I contacted the nurse, they gave her meds that made her comfortable for the couple of hours that I was there with her but later that night she was vomitting more and the nurses let her vomit all night until I found out about it the next morning. Horrible care. I feel bad for people who have to be in the hospital and don’t have family to look out for them.
They sell their practice
“Medical malpractice reform now!”
Exactly. Just imagine, the cost of services will nosedive....../s
a lot of the folks dying from mistaken medical decisions wouldn’t have lived to get to the point where the bad decision was made just 10 or 15 years ago.
any bad decision that causes loss of life is horrible, but this article is just trying to be provocative without a discussion of underlying facts.
It’s probably from all of those unnecessary surgeries they perform to line their pockets. It’s a good thing Hussein told us about this and took over. {gut wrenching sarcasm}
They make enough off that to last them 20-30 years?
Bottom line is, that despite the best efforts of medicine practitioners around the world, the death rate globally remains at 100%.
The one guy was already near retirement age. The other, I don’t know what kind of provisions he made.
I don’t visit a doctor unless I’m reasonably sure I’m dying. Haven’t done so in 10 years
99% of the time a disease you can easily pick up in the office/hospital is WAY worse than what is troubling you
