Correct. In the US, the 3rd leading cause of death is believed to be preventable medical errors [1]. It is an absolutely atrocious statistic, that only mirrors developing countries. Statistically, this sort of thing only happens in developing countries, and never developed/industrialized countries. Americans should see the irony in that. A good resource, that I suggest all Americans consult so that they can stay alive is: http://HealthData.org http://HealthData.org I consulted that website for years for trusted data on global health systems. Ironically, it is the same group that runs the IMHE coronavirus predictive models in the US. It is an amazing group, run by the University of Washington, which has a phenomenal public medical school. Anyways, the wild part is that countries like Croatia compete with the US, for overall quality of care as a whole (not medical errors!). You know, a former Yugoslav war-torn, economically damaged country, that is up and rising thanks to being a new member to the European Union. It also has its geographic challenges in distributing care, due to having about 50 inhabited islands. One island is a 2 hour and 45 minute ferry ride away. If you get extremely sick, it is a 5 hour boat ride back to the mainland. There is no air ambulance service. The US is really going the wrong way, and for shocking reasons. Also, Americans are generally unaware of how low the bar has been actually set, which is actually extremely low. It is also the system's fault, not the doctors. We really do have incredible doctors in the US.
