IATROGENIC

Our Health Care System is the Leading Cause of Death. Doctors are in fact the LEADING cause of or preventable death in this country. Not heart disease, not cancer, not cigarettes--doctors. In all fairness, doctors themselves are not always to blame for all of this. The entire modern health care system, however, is to blame for allowing, even promoting, so many unnecessary procedures, drugs and mishaps and for allowing bad doctors to go unchecked.

Drugs and doctors kill far more people annually than they save, and that's a fact. And the older you get, especially if there's basically "nothing wrong," the more likely that you'll "check out" because of a medical error or drug reaction.


Doctors kill so many people that medical grammarians gave the doctor-based killing a name: IATROGENIC.
