Highly unlikely. Only about 2.5m die in the US each year. 80% of deaths aren't due to medical errors.
The problem with calculating that number is it all depends on what you mean by error. If medical practice was 100% perfect just about every person would live a lot longer. Everyone's life is shortened by medical error in one form or another. Can all of those deaths be attributed to it because humanity's imperfections and imperfect skill was at least a minor factor in the timing of 90% of deaths?
Lets say someone has cancer. If every oncologist was as skilled as the most skilled oncologist, a lot of those cancer deaths wouldn't have happened. Is that human error?
The point is that errors in medicine matter. We are all effected by them. Some of us in a minor way. Some of us in a major way. You aren't going to get perfection out of your doctor, so stop worshiping them as if they can do no wrong because they are a doctor.
You also aren't going to get perfection out of pharmaceutical research even if they are trying to be honest (and they might not be). Most people take medicine at some point in their life, and often its not consequence free. If humans were free from error they would see the benefits of new drugs not yet invented and would see the short comings of current drugs. Instead, erroneous man prescribes and distributes drugs that are second best, and we all die a little bit younger for it.
if this was reddit and if i had gold i would give you reddit gold. whatever that is worth. which is nothing. but i dont want to detract from your comment. but seriously reddit gold is worth nothing. but good comment.
Good comment
A very reasonable assessment. I'd define deaths from medical malpractice as deaths that occurred either due to negligence or malevolence. Deaths that could have been prevented by having a higher skilled doctor indicate that the knowledge aspect of medical education needs to be further improved. Deaths due negligence or malevolence are an issue of moral character; these indicate an inability to take the Hippocratic oath seriously. This happens when medical personal are non-white and have a relatively underdeveloped prefrontal cortex (e.g. niggers), or when they are white and happen have sociopathic traits due to a malfunctioning amygdala. Either way, to me the moral aspect of being a doctor seems self-evident, but apparently there is a need to heavily enforce this throughout both education and via issuing severe penalties.
Trust the stats kikes give you!!!
Stop doing that.
Ah, yes, "I saw it on 4 chan" trumps meticulously collected data every time.
cuckchan
Nothing was stated about cuckchan. Fuck off.
meticulously collected data
Is that like the data on how White men are America's #1 terrorist threat?
You're arguing from a jewish, factually dishonest position and you know it.

Also as opposed to;
I saw it on (((CNBC)))
They dont want to here any skepticism at all. Just accept every outrageous assertion or you are a rabbi.
