There is a big difference between dying from being exposed to an infection in a hospital and intentionally being fed enough pain killers to stop your heart because some doctor has decided its time for you to die.
And lets not even get into the fact most people end up in a hospital when they are gravely ill and hence, more likely to die even before they get there... So you are going to obviously have more people die in hospitals than in other places.
Correlation is not causation.
“Correlation is not causation.”
Yes, but there are increasingly prevalent errors of both omission and comission on the part of hospital staffs are giving rise to the notion that beyond the fact that sick people go to the hospital and some don’t make it, some go there, get maltreated and die. The other part of it is doctor’s refusal to offer further treatment to someone who is both ill and aged.
My wife and I had dinner last Saturday with a couple who have been friends for a number of years. They are both in their mid-80s ( we are in our 70’s). Last year, the wife needed to have a heart valve replacement. In her “team of doctors” there was only one who thought that they should do the surgery. The others said essentially, “put her in hospice care and let her DIE!” Needless to say, the surgery was a complete success, and this lovely woman can look forward to any number of good years of life left to live. Sadly, we are to the point where “economics and physician risk” are bigger impediments to getting decent healthcare.
