Leading Cause of Accidental Death in America is Mistakes in Medical Care

"There was an excellent article about medical mistakes on the front page of the San Antonio Express News this Sunday. The article states that the leading cause of accidental death in America is mistakes made in medical care. According to the Hearst report,

“The Texas discharge records showed there were at least 29 deaths at 15 San Antonio hospitals in 2007 resulting from low-risk procedures.”

In fact, experts estimate that 98,000 people die from preventable medical errors each year, which means that more Americans die each month of preventable medical injuries than died in the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001."
