Doctor's Mistakes and Medical Errors Cost Lives
In the United States, preventable medical errors cost over 100,000 patients their lives each year, and hundreds of thousands more suffer serious injury or other long-term consequences. Some experts rank preventable error as the third to sixth most common cause of death in the U.S.
Medical errors cost between $37 and $50 billion a year, with patients and insurance companies picking up the majority of the tab. The system has been made so expensive by the doctor and their insurers that more than half of these cases go uncompensated because the victims can't afford to hire a lawyer.
Medical errors cost doctors and hospitals, too. The lack of truthfulness around preventable medical error costs the profession the good will and respect of many patients. We do not seek to demonize doctors and hospitals. We simply want them to tell the truth about what happened.
