For some reason, I can't post the link. But CNBC has an article from Frebruary of this year claiming that medical errors is the third leading cause of death in the Untited States.
That statistic is staggering! Have you or someone you know experienced death from medical error? What about injury or illness due to error?
Please don't share anything that should be confidential. But with the numbers that are being reported, there's bound to be experience with this on the Disboards.
Do you have any thoughts as to why the numbers are so high?
