"A health care system is supposed to prevent accidents? Surely you jest..."

You're demonstrating that you are completely unaware of public health policy. One of the major innovations and areas of research within emergency care and public health of the past 10 years, and that is accident prevention and harm reduction.

The origin of some of this research was by trauma surgeons who recognized that trauma outcomes would not be improved by further funding or improved trama protocols. Further gains in health would be found only through accident prevention.

This isn't meant to be an educational thread, but I'd encourage both you and Fowler to dig a little deeper into the data to inform your opinions.
