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.

Examples - Murder is a bellwether.
Medicine is said to be the easiest place to get away with serial killing. The
same conditions that allow that enable thousands of other sins
and errors in medicine. Below is a list of examples of the range of problems
enabled by this system.
Dr. Benjamin Rush - Founding Father. Famous physician. Centuries of silence.
Dr. Allan Zarkin - Doctors are humans. They do bad
things.
Dr. Liana Gedz - A victim testifies before Congress.
Dr. James Burt - The system removes normal inhibitors.
Dr.Arthur Richard Schramm - No one
checks even when there are red flags
Dr. Graeme Reeves - victims
stonewalled by health authorities and laughed at by police.
Dr. Vikas Kashyap - same old, same
old.
Dr. Michael Swango - Even murderers are protected in
medicine.
Donald Harvey - Sometimes they are orderlies or nurses aides.
Orville Lynn Majors - A lack of moderation can get noticed.
Charles Cullen, RN - The system lacks a way to spread the word.
Dr. Gary Malakoff - Having "MD" after your name is a get-out-off-jail-free card.
Dr. David C Arndt - Surprised anyone would be upset.
Richard W. Gibson - Stealing patient's identity.
Genene Jones, LVN - What does a serial killer look like?
Dr. Harold Shipman - What to learn from the world's most prolific serial killer.
Catherine Wood and Gwen Graham - Nurses' "Murder
Game."
Dr. Michael E. Sachs - An example of how helpless patients are to find out about their healthcare.
Dr. Federico Castro-Moure - Another glimmer of how much power and protection doctors are used to.
Other examples on which you might want to do searches:
Beverley Allitt - Britain. At least 4 murders.
Richard Angelo - Long Island, New York, at least 10 murders
Robert Diaz - Riverside, California, 12 murders
Kristen Gilbert -
Massachusetts. "If my
patient dies, can I get off work early?" 350 murders possible.

Brian Rosenfeld - Florida, 23 possible murders
Jane Toppan - Massachusetts, at least 31 murders
Efren Saldivar - California, at least 6 murders
Sigmund Freud - Recent research
shows he put personal interest in front of the well being of patients.
Lucian Leape - Why he now is a
problem even though we owe him gratitude for authoring the original IOM study that finally forced the
medical community to admit it kills a lot of patients unnecessarily.
