Your a smart individual, why are you having trouble understanding this? 200,000 patients/year do not die DUE to medical errors, 200,000 people die and HAD a so called medical error during their hospital stay. There is no strong cause and effect correlation at work with these statistics. It's like getting your oil changed on Monday and dying in a car accident Friday----the oil change did not CAUSE the accident.
