“A lot of these cases are things like cataract surgery and hip operations.”
So how many of those people died of traffic accidents, and how many were actually medically relevant?
I get they are trying to paint things in the worst possible light, but without context it’s unclear just how problematic this actually is.
Edit: Can’t reply to haltingproblem, but you’re looking at a group of dead people so the percentage of people killed by cars is presumably a better baseline estimate vs assuming they are dead is irrelevant. Unless you meant the waiting list also had 75k people on it which would be very concerning if ~16k of them were dying each year.
