The numbers I've read are at least 200K people die in US hospitals each year due to medical errors. And that number has to be very low ball since hospitals and the entire medical profession tries it's hardest to hide medical mistakes and, for the most part, aren't required to track or report them. Add to that the rubber stamp our FDA has become. We are nothing more than guinea pigs hooked to the health care matrix with money extracting IV's in our arms. So called tort reform will only increase medical errors. But don't worry Hankster, however flawed your reasoning I'm sure there's a pill for that. Don't sue if it makes you sick though or we'll have to add you to the hypocrites list.
