Michael Jackson & Dead By Mistake

The fact is that doctors, hospitals and health care professionals have made serious preventable mistakes which have cost numerous people their lives.  Our hometown paper, the San Francisco Chronicle  has created “Dead By Mistake” (by Phil Bronstein), a website that chronicles the common errors that regularly occur and it details the 2,000,000 deaths that have taken place during the past 10 years as a result of preventable medical errors.
      
The articles contained within the website are comprehensive, compelling and include useful information without bias or innuendo. I believe that they are the most helpful national articles that ever been written about medical errors and their impact on our citizen’s lives.

This is an extremely important news effort because it refutes what insurance companies are continually telling the public, i.e. that the main reason why health care insurance is so expensive is because of trial lawyers and the lawsuits we file.  In reality, the main reason that insurance rates are so high is because there are bad doctors practicing bad medicine all across the United States.

For example, it was just revealed this past week that Michael Jackson’s death was a direct result of his doctor’s giving him too many drugs (in too high doses), leading the Los Angeles coroner to conclude that Jackson death was a homicide.    

Please take the time to look over the “Dead By Mistake” website and corresponding articles and view the overwhelming evidence that some health care professionals are maiming and killing their patients on a regular basis.
