"odds of dying as a result of clinical error in hospital are 33,000 times higher than those of dying in an air crash" http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-421989/Blunder-killed-wife.html …

@c7rky "There were fifteen million inpatient admissions to NHS hospitals in England in 2011" - you say one in 300 will die due to error? -
.
@bendean1979 Ok, once more for the cheap seats. No..Sir Liam Donaldson said it, not me. But don't let that put you off your continued rant. -
@c7rky and if you can only call objective citation of data as 'rant' it shows just how lame your stance is -
.
@bendean1979 Haha! I've expressed no 'stance' as my tweets will show. The only lame thing here is the crap you're filling my timeline with. -
@c7rky 'crap' is it? How very dare I expose your citations are baseless and flawed? -
.
@bendean1979 I've said it before & something tells me this won't be the last time either, but you keep telling yourself that Ben...

@c7rky if it is about 12,000 'preventable' deaths per year, then this rate is less than 1 in 1000 of admissions -
@c7rky and to claim that 'preventable' is the exact same thing as 'error' is misleading -
@c7rky specific errors causing death is not what causes most 'preventable' deaths -
@c7rky hence overall stats show that only about 1 in 1,000/2,000 of all hospital admissions result in preventable deaths

@c7rky the 1 in 300 stat is highly flawed and based on silly assumptions for meThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
