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.

I am not surprised. I am getting my degree BS in Health Service Administration. If you think that is bad you should look at all the cases in my textbooks. Some doctors want to help and truly do care. And other do not care at all and pretty much they are the ones who lose their career and end up getting sued for negligence, or license revoked with a black mark on their record.
I am a bit afraid of some medications for that reason to be honest
