yes, david but the full BMJ article was quite interesting but their data was used was almost 20 years olde & yes that was the author(s) point of after the 1999 study no forward progress has been made to track deaths caused by malpractice activities by medical personnel.
that stated, we have citizens in our society bringing lawsuits against Quaker Oats for false advertising the term 'natural'; you have our congress wanting to open the flood gates to allow foreign nationals and sovereign nations the ability to bring lawsuits against our citizens; you have huge amounts of $$$$ being awarded to private citizens for using talcum powder in their genital regions; and the list goes on...
do you really want to see malpractice insurance skyrocket as they try to keep up with emotionalized malpractice lawsuits cuz the beloved 85 year old died on the table from open heart triple bypass the family authorized but the 85 wasn't even viable to survive in the first place??
only ppl who are going to benefit are the nice attorneys as they collect their fee(s).
