REPRESENTATIVE JOHN MURTHA’S UNNECESSARY DEATH DUE TO PREVENTABLE MEDICAL ERROR
Fully referenced book provides shocking statistics on unnecessary deaths caused by American medicine.
On Monday, February 8, 2010, Representative John Murtha (D-PA) died of complications from elective gallbladder surgery. There has been much discussion about his death focusing a light on preventable medical errors leading to unnecessary death.
Dr. Gary Null’s DEATH BY MEDICINE provides complete statistics on unnecessary deaths caused by American medicine. Dr. Null and a group of researchers have meticulously reviewed the statistical evidence, and their findings are absolutely shocking. These researchers present compelling evidence that today’s health care system might even cause more harm than good.
The number of people who die because of medical errors—physician mistakes, hospital-related illness, and reactions to FDA-approved medications—is the equivalent of six jumbo jets crashing each day. More Americans are dying each year at the hands of medicine than all American casualties in World War I and the Civil War combined.
In DEATH BY MEDICINE, Gary Null investigates deaths from conventional medicine, unnecessary deaths in hospitals, hospital-related illness, and deaths from prescription drugs. How many must die? It’s death by medicine.
