Horrifying : “1 in 10 hospital patients get medical error, 1 in 300 die of error.” BUT source is WHO press conference. Unbiased numbers maybe 1/4 to 1/2 of claimed. Still horrifying. Your allies lie as much as your opponents. Must be true on average.https://www.reuters.com/article/us-safety-idUSTRE76K45R20110721 …
A friend of mine who's a doctor said the high bit of her advice about hospitals was to stay out of them as much as possible.

Get to know a lawyer who does medical malpractice (insurance side or plaintiff side) and you'll hear more horror than you'll get from doctors.

My parents were doctors. That's the reason I'm not one.

It reminds me of simple procedure @ U of Chicago hospitals killed its "golden goose" :'(. I tracked these numbers for a long time. It used to stand at ~100K/y. In the recent past it jumped to 250K. https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2016/05/03/476636183/death-certificates-undercount-toll-of-medical-errors … The last number I heard but had no time to varify: 400K.

Actually, here snopes mentions 440K: "At best, experts have settled on a range of 98,000 to 440,000, but no one knows whether those numbers are grossly exaggerated or horribly underestimated."https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/doctors-kill-more-people-than-guns/ …
