First Do Harm: The Hidden Epidemic of Doctor-Induced Deaths
Iatrogenic Medical Death is the Top Killer in the World
Across this glorious earth plane, the top three takers of human life are not what the television doctors keep telling you. Yeah, it’s actually them: the modern medical cult. So much for the Hippocratic oath. Ischaemic heart disease removes about eighteen million souls every year, cancer now claims roughly ten million lives annually, and preventable harm delivered inside clinics and hospitals: diagnostic blunders, drug mix‑ups, poly-pharmacy, botched surgery, system errors that never appear on a death certificate, suppressing symptoms, gaslighting of patients, etc, quietly ends an estimated two‑and‑a‑half million more each year, making medical practice itself the third‑leading killer in the world. However, I argue that it’s the top killer. Would so many have this much heart disease and cancer if doctors were competent and used prevention? No, boss. They get the blame there, too. Hang on, it gets worse.
