THIS EVEN BEATS the HCV deaths
It's hardly news that medical professionals make mistakes--even dumb, deadly mistakes. What's shocking is how often it happens. Depending on which statistics you believe, the number of Americans killed by medical screw-ups is somewhere between 44,000 and 98,000 every year--the eighth leading cause of death even by the more conservative figure, ahead of car crashes, breast cancer and AIDS.

Legal drugs kill more people than all the illegal ones combined....booze and tobaco are the real killers...and dont forget the painkillers and benzos
More people die from doctors making mistakes on patients..like scripting wrong drugs...leaving instruments inside of patients are common...just hope i dont find a bed pan under my spleen
