Medical Error is the Leading Cause of Death.
Which one is the leading cause of death? Cancer, tuberculosis, HIV aids , traffic accident and so on.. if you are thinking like this you are wrong…the right answer is doctors ,confused! According to different journals medical error likes unnecessary surgery, infections in hospitals, adverse effect of drugs, is the third leading cause of death in different country.
According to journals near about 999,936 people dies per year only in USA due to medical error so how much people dies form medical error in whole world we can’t imagine. So I have a question to all, what’s more dangerous, the disease or the treatment?

looks indigestible but this is one truth we don’t want to believe…we want to be saviors not killers.
i m agree with bikash , u or any journal can’t say that doctor r the leading cause , where there is plus point of course there will be some minus point doctor always give new life to human.
If people think treatment is dangerous than disease then there is no use of any doctor . Get disease n die………….
Prakash@ it doesnt mean you stop treating patient but must decrease Medical error .
i agree with dr.prakash kumar chaudhary.
If people think treatment is dangerous than disease then there is no use of any doctor . Get disease n die………….
let us rest.
admit ur mistakes docs…ur weapons could kill not only the microorganisms but patients as well.
hey docs in mah opinion its the medical error we made while treatin our pts’ that is more dangerous than the disease itself, like every aspects own two sides either good or bad treatin or managin has its both benefecial n harmful outcomes and its not medicines or other modalities that we use to treat our pts’ are the culprits its us coz we are responsiple for thier effective/affective outcomes….we r humanbeings n we do mistakes unknowingly or even knowingly coz mistakes makes us learn more n if we think get disease n die…..then y should we go thro all those damn basics concepts huh??????? n y use science n technology……let all die in peace ultimately with natural death process don make use of ur intelligence, let ur brain rest ……………..
doctors are not God.. they are human beings and it is not surprising to make mistakes..so guys think positive n do positive.
