The third leading cause of death in the United States is from bad medical care.
Despite public relation campaigns driven by the medical industry to the contrary, the facts are that in the United States each year nearly 100,000 Americans die as a consequence of medical mistake. The wrong patient is operated on; the wrong part of the patient is operated on; improper drugs are prescribed; non-prescribed drugs are given; instruments are left inside body cavities after surgery. Hospitals spending billions annually on new gadgets, machines, marble lobbies and beautiful facades, cut back on staffing, exposing patients to a rash of mistakes, all of which can result in significant injury or unnecessary injury or death to the patient.
