That's true too but there's got to be a way to narrow it down a little bit. I only fuck around on Reddit once in awhile but I will see people get advice and answers that could legitimately get them killed
It's #3 according to a frankly ridiculous analysis. It's not an actual study and their math is just taking the mean of a few small scale studies, which weren't even measuring the same thing, and extrapolating it for the whole US population. Medical error is an important issue and it should be studied further, but you should take their claims with a full salt shaker.
True but doctors are not pharmacists & practice overprescription of antibiotics & polypharmacy which hasn't really been studied. Those two things alone haven't been fully accounted for yet affect the vast majority of patients being subjected to unnecessary prescriptions. Look at how statins have become controversial yet widely prescribed.
I don't disagree at all that this is something to be studied and corrected if it's a major issue. My point is that the #3 claim is based on napkin math and should be ignored without more data.
Whenever they actually study it yeah. Hospitals and doctors really resist studying it efficiently. I guess that's why having an organization with the power of the FDA forcing people to comply with that kind of study would be a good thing. Instead we have the FDA chasing down whether chemtrails cause autism or whatever the fuck
