How to prevent being one of 550,000 Americans killed by US doctors every year

The U.S. Government claims and clearly documents that a half-million Americans are needlessly killed directly by their doctors every year in the U.S. No wonder Mr. Gutterman could afford to live in our neighborhood, owning several funeral cash-wringers, oops, excuse me, bereavement facilities or whatever the current politically correct term is.

No superior flexing of observation is required to absorb the reasons why it is a rare case for a doctor to serve a patient's interest more than the doctor's interest. Rare doesn't mean 'never,' it does mean "very infrequently."

If you've ever studied the Hippocratic oath and the typical income of doctors in the past few decades, words are not necessary. As in every facet of every human life, words are subordinate to the factual reality of deed.

Please do not confuse intentional injuries such as doctors carving their initials on a patient's stomach during surgery, or some similar act of a twisted mind with doctors who earn huge sums doing invasive things to the human body that cause far more injury than benefit. Did you know that the last four times a surgeon amputated the wrong leg the surgeon was still paid, and paid plenty? Or that, tragically, doctors insisted that the other leg had to be cut off anyway?

Make no mistake: a knife slicing your body open is not unreasonably termed "invasive."

At least 240,000 of the 300,000 angioplasties done last year were completely unnecessary. How do we know this? That's easy: 240,000 of these surgery patients died before the year was up. Claiming that they would surely have died anyway only leads to an observation that the surgeon and his hospital and his anesthesiologist did not receive a mere thousand or two thousand dollars for that one-time effort; did they? They got PAID.

That a surgeon is allowed to keep up to a quarter million dollars of cash for a surgery that killed the patient is truly astonishing. Hopefully, time and public disgust will change this. That's a responsibility that you will either accept, or not. If we cannot sway you into speaking up, we can at least apply these same facts to your instant benefit of health and wealth

In this meantime, the smartest possible course is to avoid having to go to the doctor in the first place. However hard it is for you to accept it, fact is fact, numbers don't lie:

Outside of tramautic injuries and so-called accidents -- (in point of fact there IS no such thing as an accident; only the results of bad decisions, including not paying attention to what's happening around us) -- outside of the treatment of traumatic wounds involving blood loss or bloodless head injuries, doctors, statistically, and too empirically kill and hurt far, FAR more people than they benefit. Please do not confuse this as an opinion: doctors have been killing people since long before they believed in bleeding and purging, a practice which only ended after nearly two thousand years of being a basic part of a physician's purported 'healing' methods.

Yes, from an emotional point of view great arguments can follow about this committed doctor or that dedicated surgeon. Those of you who are reasonably well-read know the factual truth.

In 1999, 260,000 people died in U.S. hospitals JUST from being administered the wrong medications. Do you need to be told who hand-wrote all those prescriptions? Can your brain even understand what it means to lose 260,000 individual mothers, fathers, children, sisters, and other loved ones because of a wrong medication being administered?

Do you have sufficient faculty of visualization to see the coffins of 300,000 victims of unnecessary bypasses? We're not talking about the rare case here, friend; we refer to the governmentally-documented fact of several thousands of people killed every week by a scribbled, erroneously-read or improperly filled prescription medicine, several thouands of additional people killed in America every single week by invasive, unnecessary surgery.

The proof that it's unnecessary is that so many of them die within days, weeks, or months.

If you want to live longer, and better, you absolutely must take command of your medical care, instead of trusting a man or woman who's driving a Mercedes Benz and has stock options that your misery, or the pain of your child paid for.   For those who cry that doctors go to school for many years and should be generously compensated, we have a choice: we can agree that they should be well-paid, and see that they are, without them becoming millionaires off of other people's pain and misery, or we can say,

"Pfui!! If financial wealth is what you want, sell something for a living, or write great songs, or paint ten thousand houses: medicine used to be and once again needs to be reserved exclusively for those who wish to serve others more than they wish to serve their personal appetites."
