With all due respect, these problems listed on their page are not or might not be the sole fault of the doctor, so I have doubts about their 250k figure.:

7,000 -- medication errors in hospitals
20,000 -- other errors in hospitals
80,000 -- infections in hospitals
106,000 -- non-error, negative effects of drugs

There are always the hospital pharmacy, the tight fisted administration, nursing staff, insurance companies, & lawyers & perhaps even janitorial which should share in the fault & that is before we even mention the role of the patient in their own cure or lack thereof.
