Medical errors are No. 3 killer in U.S., study finds
Medical errors are America's third leading cause of death, behind heart disease and cancer, according to a study released Tuesday. Errors cause at least 250,000 deaths per year, the report said. "People don't just die from heart attacks and bacteria, they die from system-wide failings and poorly coordinated care," said the study's lead author, Dr. Martin Makary of Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. "It's medical care gone awry." The toll amounts to about 10 percent of U.S. deaths each year. [U.S. News & World Report]
