Maybe you will be one of them soon? Is so, which of the numbers will go up for you?

The site: http://pharmadeathclock.com/
provides a self-updating clock for informing us of the ways doctors, hospitals and Big Pharma are killing us. There are statistics for the USA and separately, for the UK and rest of the world. Check it out.

All of the deaths are horrendous, but we cannot avoid sick people dying. What is a contemptible of our society is the fact that many of the deaths were not necessary...plus some are just unbelievable negligence.

Look at these numbers (keep in mind the numbers are not static on the site, they keep growing):

Hospital Errors
8,815,160

Iatrogenic Deaths
15,705,733

(an explanation):
Iatrogenesis
Iatrogenesis refers to any effect on a person, resulting from any activity of one or more other persons acting as healthcare professionals or promoting products or services as beneficial to health, which does not support a goal of the person affected. From: Wikipedia

Hospital Malnutrition
2,179,749

{ Can you believe this one - knowing how much hospitals charge?! }

Bedsores
2,303,963

(these deaths are preventable - they just do not care?)

Medical Error
1,963,378

The above are taken from just the USA statistics...

The problem is that with most people, especially those making money out of these deaths, the numbers do not mean anything. It is only that one number which represents someone you love that matters.

I still hope that most people do care - as for the medical fraternity? It seems most doctors, surgeons, nurses, who care, are those we see in make-believe soapies.

I do not remember from my younger days, the world being this uncaring.
