Drug-Induced “Iatrogenic” Disorders: Third Leading Cause of Death in the US &Britain

[Jude Iam]

Definition of an “iatrogenic” disorder: A disorder inadvertently induced by a health caregiver because of a surgical, medical, drug or vaccine treatment or by a diagnostic procedure.
Records are kept but the totals are omitted from annual CDC stats on causes of death.

This is especially relevant in the context of warp-speed development of vaccines in the hands of the military, for all the world. Jude

In last week’s column I wrote that iatrogenic disorders (a doctor-, drug-, vaccine-, surgery- or other medical treatment-caused disorder) were the third leading cause of death in the US. That revelation may have ruffled the feathers of some readers, particularly if they were employed in the medical professions, so I am enlarging on that statement in this week’s column.In 2000, a commentary article was written by Dr Barbara Stanfield, MD, MPH. It was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA, July 26, 2000—Vol 284, No. 4).The article was titled “Is US Health Really the Best in the World?” It has been posted here (https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/article-abstract/192908?redirect=true).In the article, Stanfield included the following statistics from her research about iatrogenic deaths. (Note: these numbers do not include out-patient iatrogenic deaths):

12,000 deaths/year from unnecessary surgery in hospitals
7,000 deaths/year from medication errors in hospitals
20,000 deaths/year from other errors in hospitals
80,000 deaths/year from nosocomial infections in hospitals
106,000 deaths/year from non-error, adverse effects of medications in hospitals

Combining these five groups gives us a total of 225,000 in-patient deaths. The 225,000 number does not include out-patient deaths or disabilities. In any case, this number easily constitutes the third leading cause of death in the United States, ...

I find quoting & referencing a website that promotes antisemitism and Holocaust denial deeply offensive. Aside from that, this belongs in the conspiracy category.

p.s. ok, "conspiracy" has been thrown around since before 9/11 but especially then. If you are still thinking lone gunmen kill presidents and guys with boxcutters bring down buildings even without crashing into them, there's a long road to where any back story becomes clear to you.
you, yourself! can find the internal FBI memo instructing that any intel which became known was to be discredited by being called "conspiracy". Learn. stop calling things conspiracy when you do not know abut them. LEARN.

This from Wikipedia about one of the 20th Century's most influential thinkers, Ivan Illich:

In his Medical Nemesis, first published in 1975, also known as Limits to Medicine, Illich subjected contemporary Western medicine to detailed attack. He argued that the medicalization (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medicalization) in recent decades of so many of life's vicissitudes—birth and death, for example—frequently caused more harm than good and rendered many people in effect lifelong patients. He marshalled a body of statistics to show what he considered the shocking extent of post-operative side-effects and drug-induced illness in advanced industrial society. He introduced to a wider public the notion of iatrogenic disease (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iatrogenesis),[30] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivan_Illich#cite_note-30) which had been scientifically established a century earlier by British nurse Florence Nightingale (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florence_Nightingale) (1820–1910). Others have since voiced similar views.[31] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivan_Illich#cite_note-31)

My own experience with iatrogenic disease came in the early 1960's, when a cousin died from a drug overdose caused by an extra 0 at the end of a hospital prescription. The family refused to sue because it was a Jewish hospital and they didn't want to embarrass them. Later, I went to a different hospital with terrible back pain and when a millogram failed to show any damage, the doctors recommended "exploratory" back surgery. I check myself out against medical advise and started doing some exercises recommended by a friend. It wasn't until I moved from Chicago to California that I learned he had introduced me to Yoga. Later I met someone who had had a similar experience--except he had gone for the surgery where they operated on the wrong part of his back and it was unclear whether he would ever again walk without pain.

One does not need a "conspiracy" to explain these phenomenon--most of these outcomes are an inevitable result of a health system built to serve profits rather than people.
