12,000 deaths per year due to unnecessary surgery
7000 deaths per year due to medication errors in hospitals
20,000
deaths per year due to other errors in hospitals
80,000 deaths per year due to infections in hospitals
The medical industry, pharmaceutical industry and government agencies do not like publishing the facts about causes of
premature deaths.
The facts are shocking. Generally, lung cancer is shown to be the third leading cause of death today in the
USA. It was the second leading cause until the people began giving up the smoking habit. Alhzeimers disease (AD) is always higher
among non-smokers.
AD is now listed as the second leading cause of death in the US at an even higher percentage than lung cancer
once was.
The actual third leading cause of premature death in the USA is medical care. Hard to believe?
Published in BMJ shows that medical errors
in hospitals and other health-care facilities are incredibly common and may now be the third-leading cause of death in the United
States claiming 251,000 lives every year, more than respiratory disease, accidents, stroke and Alzheimer's. May 3, 2016
These
deaths are only those known of or reported. In my opinion the number could be considerably higher. Think about it. How many nurses
as one example, are going to report a screw up by a doctor or colleague? Give me a break.
Don't expect for a minute that you're
going to hear this on the main stream media in any meaningful way when the next commercial is on having a screening or advertising
a new prescription drug.
An article by the Journal of the American medical association illuminates the failure of the US medical
system in providing decent medical care for Americans.
