We know that it is popular right now to blame patients for "frivolous lawsuits" but most people have no idea just how widespread medical negligence is here in the United States. Here are some appalling figures:
- Studies have shown that up to 15% of all medical diagnoses are wrong [1].
- More people die every year from medical negligence than from car accidents [2].
- Medication errors hurt at least 1.5 million people every year, says a report from the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies [3]. That's the equivalent of one medication mistake for every single hospital patient, every single day of the year.
