When the consequences are lethal for that 2-3%, that scrutiny is needed.


A set back is not necessarily lethal.

We expect so much from our health care providers, and we sometimes don't appreciate that they deal with a wide array of patients.

Some will come in with a tiny brushing, asking if they are going to die. Others will walk around with a critical condition for days, saying maybe they were a little sore, but they didn't think it was too bad.

We might need other measures. It might be damn complex. Ideally 100% would die from "malpractice" (or unknown able issues) because people are so healthy and society is so safe there is barely anyone in ER.
