May 3, 2016 - Analyzing medical death rate data over an eight-year period, Johns Hopkins patient safety experts have calculated that more than 250,000 deaths per year are due to medical error in the U.S. Their figure, published May 3 in The BMJ, surpasses the U.S. Centers for Disease Control https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/.../study_suggests_medical_errors_now_third_leadi...
Recent studies of medical errors have estimated errors may account for as many as 251,000 deaths annually in the United States (U.S).,

Research has confirmed that 440,000 people die every year because of preventable medical errors. That is equivalent to almost the entire population of Atlanta

Your Health Care May Kill You: Medical Errors.
The above headline is not from any Tabloid but from an academic journal
So what is the truth?
are all our Hospitals Slaughterhouses?
and all our doctors are Butchers?
Based on analysis of four studies using the Global Trigger Tool, the study concludes that between 210,000 and 400,000 patients experience harm contributing to their death each year. Although the accuracy of the Global Trigger Tool for assessing preventability of harm has been questioned, other studies have also concluded that the overall incidence of preventable adverse events has likely not improved over the past decade.
If I put it on my website that the mortality from my clinical practice is between 21 and 40 I would be immediately called a quack saying I cant count!
