Thomas Jefferson said that given the choice between
government without newspapers and newspapers without government, he would choose
newspapers.
In medicine we have government without newspapers. Patients
cannot find out what they need to know to make informed choices. No one in
medicine records or reports the information patients need to know the most. So
patients will have to do it.

PEOPLE AGAINST MEDICAL MALPRACTICE OPPOSES JOHNS HOPKINS
ALTERING AND DESTROYING MEDICAL RECORDS TO AVOID ACCOUNTABILITY
Which is safer for you, being in the streets of any city in the
country or being in any hospitals in these cities?
Nearly 195,000 people in the US died each year as a result of preventable
medical errors in 2000, 2001, 2002 according to a study of 37 million patient
records that was released by HealthGrades, the leading healthcare rating
organization (www.healthgrades.com).
In the FBI Uniform Crime Report 2002 for all US cities, the total number of
homicides was 16,204.
Comparing this information, we find the following statistics:
Preventable Deaths in Hospitals Homicides
195,000 per year 16,204 per year
534 per day 44 per day
23 per hour 2 per hour
The answer to the question is you are safer in the streets of any city in the US
than in any of our hospitals.
Missing from this data are the countless thousands of patients each year who are
maimed and catastrophically disabled by preventable medical errors. These
victims and their families suffer severe physical, emotional, and economic ruin
for the rest of their lives.
It is time for these victims and their families to have a public voice and speak
out about the permanent damages they suffer at the hands of these medical
criminals.
People Against Medical Malpractice (PAMM) is organizing a patient safety
demonstration in front of Johns Hopkins Hospital, located at 600 North Wolfe
Street in Baltimore, Maryland, to sound the alarm to the ever-growing danger
that exists in our American hospitals. On Wednesday, October 4, 2006 (raindate
October 11th) there will be a press conference at 11:30am and demonstration
follows immediately.
This particular hospital system has proven itself to be especially dangerous,
nearly deadly to our family. They have evaded all responsibility. We are urging
hospital victims to join us in making a stand against these atrocities.
Please use this opportunity to make a difference in your life and the lives of
others who will become victims of preventable medical errors.
Share this email with everybody in your address book. There is strength in
numbers.
To participate in the demonstration, email us by September 27, 2006 of your
intention at: Factfinders27@aol.com
Your participation is important.
We will see you in front of Johns Hopkins Hospital on October 4th.
(From 2006 in USA)
