How Many People Die From Medical Errors In The U.S. Each Year?

 From mymedicalscore.com comes the following harrowing statistics.  Keeping in mind, that the "statistics" are people, not just numbers!! 

Top Health Statistics

•  Medical billing errors cost Americans $210,000,000,000 annually.
• Roughly 12,000,000 Americans are misdiagnosed each year.
• Medical errors cause an estimated 250,000 deaths in the United States annually.
•  As many as 80 percent of medical bills contain at least one error.
• A little more than 4,000 surgical errors occur each year.
• It’s estimated that 7,000 to 9,000 patients die every year from medication errors.

As you can see from our top stats, medical errors are abundant in the American health care system.  What qualifies as a medical error, and how can you know if you or a loved one has been the victim of one?

What Is a “Medical Error”?

According to the book Medical Error, it is defined as a “preventable adverse effect of medical care, whether or not it is evident or harmful to the patient.” (Emphasis added.)

As a patient, you may not even know a medical error has taken place, and even if you do know about it, the medical error may not negatively affect you in any way.  However, many medical errors are quite serious, and can even result in death.

According to data provided by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, one in seven patients on Medicare in a hospital setting is the victim of a medical error.

A Johns Hopkins study released in 2016 estimated that roughly 250,000 people die ANNUALLY because of medical errors.  That would make medical errors the third leading cause of death in the United States, behind only heart disease and cancer.

My comment:  How many people have died, supposedly, from the current "pandemic" of the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19)?  According to the CDC, about 6-7 percent of those people infected with the virus have died from March 2020 to the current date of November 24, 2020.  That comes out to about 14,000-15,000, regardless of what the mainstream media propaganda machine spews out daily all over TV and the Internet trying to scare the hell out of a gullible American populace...

Even one death is to be mourned, so how about the 250,000 folks that die from medical errors?  Where is the outcry and investigations and the remedies to curtail these horrific numbers?  Why aren't doctors and pharmaceutical conglomerates put on notice that they will be investigated and brought to justice?  Is it because they feel immune or above answering for their malpractice and malfeasance?

We are currently experiencing another widespread draconian lockdown just in time for the upcoming holiday season.  We've been told that we should be isolated this Thanksgiving and not share our joys with our family and friends.  The next -- and much more important -- celebration of Christmas and the birth of our Savior, seems to be in the crosshairs of the Christ-hating, new-world-order globalists!    We cannot and will not let that happen!  If we do let that happen, then we have no one to blame but ourselves and our milquetoast response to tyrannical governors and mayors, with little or no help coming from weak-kneed Catholic bishops.  They are have the disgusting habit of capitulating to the secular-humanist powers that are in control of almost every aspect of our lives!

Pray for JUSTICE!  And pray for strength and honor!!

Viva Cristo Rey!  Fr. Miguel Pro, pray for us...
