Can you back it up?
- analog31 3y agoThe above post might have been thinking of medical error: https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/news/media/releases/study_suggests_medical_errors_now_third_leading_cause_of_death_in_the_us https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/news/media/releases/study_su... "Malpractice" might be harder to measure since it's a legal term.
- giraffe_lady 3y agoThey probably meant medical error which kills like 200k people/y in the US. Malpractice is I think more like a legal/administrative judgement that indicates culpability that may or may not exist in a specific error.
