Doctors -- and the wider medical systems they're part of -- are certainly not perfect. I think there are issues with the American health system (if it's even meaningful to refer to "a system" there) that are crying out for reform and improvement.
But your sort of inflammatory comments are neither accurate nor helpful. That's just mud-slinging to try and score cheap points.
[Edited to add:] To quote from your own link above:
> 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.
IMO, "killed by a doctor fucking up" is not a fair summary of that.
