I know its usually crazy questions but i keep thinkin about work..tonite the topic was iatrogenic illness..without lookin it up does any1 know it

Isn't it something to do w mis-diagnosis?

@Ram318: thats part of it..its anything, med errors wrong surgeries bad care, deaths, Caused by the healthcare system...i just looked up the numbers and if it stays the same rate..in ten years more americans die from it than all the casualties from all the wars we have ever fought...its a leading killer and most of us are unaware

@Acire: At least I was close lol

Yep better than most..none at my work knew it..and we Are the healthcare!

@Acire: hahahaha well I'm jus a lowly fire/medic but I remembered it from a lecture somewhere. Don't know why lol
