Hey, it's not my issue if you throw swearwords around in lieu of rational argument, or accuse people of innumeracy instead of offering actual research. As i said, nevermind
But insufficient to be retracted. Once more, let me say this clearly and unambiguously - The ONLY way we rid ourselves of this pall, is to provide a superseding estimate with better validity and reliability. No amount of sideline kvetching will change that fact . However /2

Ah, so you admit the methodology sucked?

Sure. But not sufficiently to be retracted, and far more reliable than the count, which gives a median of 2,540 deaths per year

Even when we get a better estimate it STILL will not be good news. There is nothing on the table that suggests that a perfect estimate will show quality and safety to be optimal. Every indicator suggests that errors are pervasive and frequently deadly

Of course it won't be good news. Patients dying due to doctor error will never be good news. But that it is bad is no excuse to make it worse than it seems. Don't frame it as a crisis when it is a pressing problem.
