Hundreds of thousands suffer medical injuries
Harvard researchers found that one percent of a representative sample of patients treated in New York state hospitals in 1984 were injured and one-quarter of those died because of medical negligence. Nationwide that would have translated into 234,000 injuries and 80,000 deaths from negligence in American hospitals. There is currently no clear evidence that there have been any significant improvements.
