What has caused death and injury?

Question

Many people who are taken care of by doctors die in hospitals, while health care providers are making health care system safer.

Answer 1

Medical errors are one of the nation's leading causes of death and injury.

Answer 2

There will always be death and injury in hospitals and out, because they are run by human beings and human beings make mistakes.  Only if you could completely robotize and computerize health care would you approach 0% error.  And there could still be glitches in their programs.

Answer 3

Every living thing dies. Most people who are near death end up in hospitals. The ones who die at home do so out of choice-- e.g. terminal cancer patients, or do so from some very acute problem, such as a MI or intracerebral bleed. So, if by some tortured logic, you are trying to say Hospital doctors are killing people, you are just plain wrong. If you assume a false premise to be true, you can prove anything.

Answer 4

Look at it this way - if there were no doctors, there would a h**l of a lot more deaths.

Doctors are doing their best to treat people, and more people are surviving with every new discovery in the field of science.

People will die, and doctors will make mistakes - but do we have a better option?  You can definitely die at home, or you can risk having a chance to live.

Answer 5

People die from injuries and illnesses every day for different reasons.  Doctors and nurses are not god they can't save everybody and when its your time to go its your time to go.

Answer 6

age ! that is the reason.
