America’s healthcare-system-induced deaths are the third leading cause of death in the U.S.
I felt that this comment, in response to one of my blog postings, by http://www.downtownseattlechiropractic.com/ needed to be reposted.
Patients are turning to alternative providers for a good reason -the western medical system has played a large role in undermining the health of Americans. According to several research studies in the last decade, a total of 225,000 Americans per year have died as a result of their medical treatments:
• 12,000 deaths per year due to unnecessary surgery
• 7000 deaths per year due to medication errors in hospitals
• 20,000 deaths per year due to other errors in hospitals
• 80,000 deaths per year due to infections in hospitals
• 106,000 deaths per year due to negative effects of drugs
Thus, America’s healthcare-system-induced deaths are the third leading cause of the death in the U.S., after heart disease and cancer.
