Deadly Medical Mistakes Exposed

October 28, 2003

New York, New York - New information has been presented showing the
degree to which Americans have been subjected to injury and
death by medical errors. The results of seven years of research
reviewing thousands of studies conducted by the NIA now show that
medical errors are the number one cause of death and injury in the
United States.

This is extremely misleading. It includes people who died from
infections, and after getting potentially life-saving surgeries when that
had very low chances of survival. In addition, includes people who died
as a result of bed sores, which is a problem with their care givers, not
the hospitals.

One thing I've learned about allopaths, they are very good at
rationalisation.

No, I would like to hear how you try to justify laying 250.000 cases of
bedsores and "malnutrition" at the door of convenitonal medicine, to mention
just two dubious matters, in the effort to come up with the "leading cause
of death" claim. You might also note that most of these figures are
decades old, and involve major extrapolations.

It is not that conventional medicine does not have risks, or that we
perhaps should be able to do better in preventing avoidable adverse events.
How does this make "alternative" medicine look good, when it can never has
to even try to deal with a comparable spectrum of illness?
