The fact of the matter is this; bad medicine is more lucrative than good medicine. It's quite easy to find out how many errors pro baseball player made in his career. Getting accurate information on MDs is impossible.

What is important to know are the infection rate at the hospitals in which practice. 2 million Americans contract infections in hospitals every year and 60 - 100 thousand of them die. Some hospitals have almost no infections but the odds of getting an infection are at least 1 in 20. Right now only 25 states report their infection rates so deaths from infections could be much higher than 100,000.

The US health care system is the only unregulated industry in the world. I know it is unpopular to say but health care in the US is based on profit.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
The leading cause of death and injury in the US is its health care system.
