Medical Malpractice

Researchers at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine have concluded that mistakes made in the medical profession are the third leading cause of death in the United States.

In a letter to the US Centers for Disease Control, Dr. Martin A. Makary, a Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine professor, says that more than 250,000 Americans die each year from preventable mistakes in four areas:

• Provider’s judgment,
• Skill or coordination of care,
• Diagnostic errors, and
• System defects and preventable adverse effects
