Hospitals and doctors are killing Americans in record numbers

Hospitals and doctors are killing Americans in record numbers


(NaturalNews) From the late 1990s to now, more and more statistical
evidence regarding death and injury from medical interventions, known as
iatrogenic deaths and injuries, have been exposed.

The rate of
iatrogenic deaths is quite high, higher than traffic fatalities, heart
attacks, and cancer deaths. And there are even more iatrogenic episodes
that result in permanent disability or lifelong pain.

Unlike the UK, doctors, clinics, and hospitals in the U.S. are not required
to report adverse events. It's estimated that no more than five percent
of adverse events do get reported. So it takes a lot of digging to
tally up the statistics of iatrogenic episodes.

Unnecessary
surgeries, such as removing non-cancerous thyroid nodes, preventative
mastectomies, or Cesarian deliveries, and surgical errors are often
responsible for iatrogenic diseases and deaths.

An error by one
individual in a surgical team leads to a disaster of performing surgery
on the wrong lung, leg, or arm. But surgical sloppiness is only a
portion of the bigger picture.


Big Pharma's dangerous drug invasion

A conservative tally of over 100,000 deaths per year is attributed to correctly prescribed drugs. Non-lethal adverse reactions are estimated to triple that number.
This does not include technically
legal off-label prescriptions, drugs approved for one symptom but used
for another, or incorrectly prescribed drugs. And it doesn't include
adverse events from over the counter (OTC) drugs that anyone can walk in
and buy. Between 30,000 and 50,000 emergency room visits annually are
from those "medications."

With drugs that are correctly prescribed and approved by the FDA, doctors
are protected by standard of care guidelines established by the various
medical and psychiatric boards and institutions and accepted as what
all MDs should be doing.

No matter how many suffer lifelong
agony, go crazy, or drop dead, there is no liability or accountability
if interventions and prescriptions are within a standard of care
guidelines.

Those doctors just keep on prescribing. And it usually takes years before any drug stacks up enough destruction and death before it's taken off the market or merely labeled with warnings that are rarely fully disclosed to patients.

The
FDA and Big Pharma have a financially symbiotic relationship. The FDA
receives a half-billion dollars or more annually in user fees from Big
Pharma companies that were initiated to speed up pharmaceutical approval
processes.

Then there are those revolving doors that permit
pharmaceutical industry people to sit in on the FDA's approval
committees. Here's Mike Adam's 2005 interview of Dr. Ray Strand, author
of Death by Prescription. (http://www.naturalnews.com/009758_wellness_disease_prevention.html)

All factors included, the total U.S. iatrogenic death toll is staggering. Over three-quarter million victims a year.

Apparently vaccines are not included in deaths by prescription drugs

With
most pharmaceutical medicines, the prospect of financial liability
exists from individual and class action lawsuits, or even government
fines. After the swine flu vaccination debacle of 1976, a government
vaccine court was established to provide a buffer for vaccine
manufacturers.

The vaccine court's panel of experts does its own
non-jury hearings to decide whether the minority of parents with
vaccine-damaged children who know of this action should be compensated,
using Federal funds and small insurance fees from vaccine manufacturers.

A recent study from VAERS (vaccine adverse event reporting system), which is a voluntary
system that receives reports from only a small percentage of actual
events has high enough numbers for significant additions to iatrogenic
deaths. (http://www.naturalnews.com)

A
common vaccine injury denial activity is to accuse parents of recently
vaccinated infants who suddenly died of shaken baby syndrome (SBS) or
dismiss it as sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).

So these vaccination deaths
seem to escape the scrutiny of researchers looking for deaths from
correctly prescribed pharmaceuticals. The total figures should be even
higher.
