OT: Iatrogenesis
http://ezinearticles.com/?The-Number...esis&id=124398
The number 1 killer in America? Heart disease. Number 2? Cancer. Number 3? Iatrogenesis.
Have you ever heard of iatrogenesis? The word doesn't even sound that harmful. It comes from two Greek words – iatros – meaning physician, and genesis – meaning created. Yes, the number 3 killer in America is death by doctor.
Did you know this? Wasn't it plastered all over the newspapers? Unbelievably, it was not broadcast on cable news channels, daily newspapers or on the radio.
This might make you suspect the origin of my claim. Did it come from some crazy tabloid? Some off-the-wall Website?
Well, that depends. It depends on whether you consider the Journal of the American Medical Association as a crazy tabloid. I really don't think it is. These statistics were published clearly and convincingly in the most esteemed medical journal in the world.
