Iattrogenic does not equal medical mistake. Adverse drug reactions are a risk involved with all medication.

" these total up to 225,000 deaths per year in the US from iatrogenic causes which ranks these deaths as the # 3 killer. Iatrogenic is a term used when a patient dies as a direct result of treatments by a physician, whether it is from misdiagnosis of the ailment or from adverse drug reactions used to treat the illness. (drug reactions are the most common cause)." What exactly is your point with this? It isn't like any of the proposed measures would have the slightest effect on it.
