Thomas Jefferson said that given the choice between government without newspapers and newspapers without government, he would choose to have 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.

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 V.S. Homicides Outside of Hospitals
195,000 per year   V.S.   16,204 per year
534 per day    V.S.   44 per day
23 per hour    V.S.   2 per hour

The answer to the question is that you are safer on the street than in a hospital.

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)
