From personal experience and friends and family experience, I actually am surprised it is only 250k annually in the U.S. > The researchers caution that most of medical errors aren’t due to inherently bad doctors, and that reporting these errors shouldn’t be addressed by punishment or legal action. Rather, they say, most errors represent systemic problems, including poorly coordinated care, fragmented insurance networks, the absence or underuse of safety nets, and other protocols, in addition to unwarranted variation in physician practice patterns that lack accountability. I respectfully disagree. All these are systemic problems as indicated and need to be solved by a revamp of the whole system. They are not magically going to fix themselves, there is no financial incentive to do so.
