        Nice review, certainly doesn’t help that the 2500-400k number is 21 years old at this point.

        Looking from the outside I cant help wondering if there's a push by patients & their lawyers to label adverse events as errors rather expected complications because of the litigious nature of the USA In New Zealand we have a no fault system called ACC & error rates are much lower
