And what does the scientific literature say about this?
@MarkHoofnagle had been giving a matter course on it this evening; that is, if you haveng blocked him yet...1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -
The Lown Institute is with me as are patient safety advocates. I think I can live without your support. And we show double booking, so no need to lie and say we show quadruple when it hasn't even aired yet. And I block trolls, so yes, I'll block you!

Block me. Or do not. I don't care much one way or the other. Realize, though, that among doctors it is a badge of honor to be blocked by you.

Keep justifying 200,000 deaths a year, and M and M's held behind closed doors. Keep denying a truth when I provide proof, and claiming you know what's in episodes you never saw, including ones not aired yet. That's science.

OK. Now you've hit a topic where I do know the literature quite well. So I'm going to challenge you to read something that critically examines that 200,000 figure you keep citing. Hint: It's not a reliable number. https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/are-medical-errors-really-the-third-most-common-cause-of-death-in-the-u-s …

Indeed it is a reliable number. It's low. Because it doesn't account for the fact medical error is hidden, not reported. Sorry, but I believe Johns Hopkins and not your personal blog, which is not evidence. https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/news/media/releases/study_suggests_medical_errors_now_third_leading_cause_of_death_in_the_us …

How about this BMJ paper? http://www.bmj.com/content/351/bmj.h3239.long … Same journal 1/10th the rate. The problem of measuring medical error is not simple,or defined by a single estimate - especially not from trigger tools.
