I'm trying to be polite and not use the term "Medical Huckster". Go on amazon.com and see the 30 books he has written. By using the internet for research, you can see for yourself and not rely on anyone's second-hand information. |

I always take medical advice from someone who wrote for Penthouse.

I'm leery of any books that these so-called experts write for profit, catchy title or dull title. Or the ones that make the talk-show rounds. Or the ones that ARE the talk shows. The people that hold credibility for me are the ones doing the research and publishing in the trusted medical journals. My doctors have never once said to me, "Go to the library and read this book by Dr. So-and-so." |

The book "Death By Medicine" does not recommend any particular lifestyle, products or alternative medicine. In many cases this book quotes CDC statements and statistics. For example: In 2008, Dr. Lauri Hicks, a CDC medical director, warned that, "Antibiotic overuse is a serious problem and a threat to everyone's health." Also in his book: CDC Estimated 10-year Mortality Rate due to hospital infections: .99 million, Cost: $5 billion+ Then there were other statistics of Medical Interventions that brought the total deaths up to 794,936 annually. |
In addition to the CDCs estimated 10-year Death Rate of .99 million for hospital infections, I just found the following report by JAMA:
Adverse drug reactions may cause over 100,000 deaths among hospitalized patients each year. It's beginning to add up and I assume these are sources you trust. |
OK. I can almost understand people reading Playboy for the articles, but Penthouse is just for the porn. What a source.
|
Here's another from NPR: Search: "How Many Die From Medical Mistakes In U.S. Hospitals?
It was first estimated at 98,000 yearly deaths. But a new study, published in The Journal of Patient Safety, states that the numbers may be much higher - between 210,000 and 440,000 patients each year. This is in addition to hospital infections and adverse drug reactions. Want more? I'm just getting started. |
