This totals 225,000 deaths per year from iatrogenic causes, placing iatrogeny as the third leading cause of death in the U.S., second only to heart disease and cancer. The scary part is that this does not include disabilities and disorders; just deaths in hospitalized patients. In any event, when one ponders that more than four times as many people die in one year from doctors' mistakes than died in the entire Vietnam War, one is aghast at why this information isn't making headlines or why huge think tanks funded by medicopolitical interests haven't formed.
We have the American Heart Association to address job function email list heart disease, Richard Nixon's “War on Cancer,” and even groups like “Mothers Against Drunk Driving.” s almost every sort of issue, save iatrogeny.
My guess is that medicopolitics have not figured out a way to capitalize on of all these deaths and disorders, ... yet. There is, however, a small “experts” consortium that does address iatrogeny in the journals, but such studies are few and far between. Funding such studies doesn't appear to be sound business practice.
Iatrogeny is not exclusive to the U.S. The British Medical Journal stated March 18, 2000 that, “In Australia, medical error results is an many as 18,000 unnecessary deaths, and more than 50,000 patients become disabled every year.”
