Another study showing huge death and serious complication rate from hospital care. A recent study from Journal of Patient Safety estimates 1000 deaths and 10,000 serious complications per day from preventable hospital errors...and this does not even count medical errors made outside of hospitals.
"What these numbers say is that every day, a 747, two of them are crashing. Every two months, 9-11 is occurring…we would not tolerate that degree of preventable harm in any other forum."
Any thoughts on why we don't hear more about all these preventable deaths and injuries?
Deaths by medical mistakes hit records
