Anonymous MD(Medical doctor) survey was conducted to find out how often they make critical errors; the result of the survey shows that nearly half of ear, nose and throat specialists say a medical error occurred in their practice in the past six months, with more than 40 percent of those mistakes causing major injury or death. MDs(Medical doctors) are mere mortals after all, so they do make mistakes, but is the number too high? Is it acceptable? |

So you have 20% chance of getting injured seriously or die if you go visit a doctor. That's crazy. |
