Medical errors are more common than you might think. In a report from the Institute of Medicine, "To Err Is Human," it was estimated between 44,000 and 98,000 deaths each year in the United States are the result of medical errors. Dr. Barbara Starfield, in an article published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, estimated that as many as 225,000 deaths per year are the result of medical errors, making it the third leading cause of death in the U.S., just behind heart disease and cancer.
