Deaths due to sepsis, overdosing or underdosing of meds or radiation treatments, incorrect treatment, are sure as hell medical deaths....Did the devil cause them?

I don't know what database your looking at, but it's well known that "deaths from hospital mistakes" ranks as 4-5 in leading cause of death in the US... It normally isn't put on the list(I wonder why?)...but if it were that's where it would be.

An aside, my brother died 2 years ago after a 4 year struggle with colon cancer.... His death certificate said he died of respiratory failure...
