,000 Dead, 17,000 Lawsuits: America's Invisible Medical Justice Gap

Four hundred thousand people die in American hospitals every year from preventable causes, yet only seventeen thousand malpractice lawsuits are filed annually - a gap of 383,000 deaths with no legal reckoning. How can peer-reviewed science, CDC infection tallies, and documented patient-safety incidents coexist with a legal system that processes so few claims?
In this episode, we lay out the data and the system that produces that discrepancy, drawing on peer-reviewed research by John T. James, CDC figures, and large-sample Medicare analyses to ask why the law captures so little of the harm: is it procedural barriers, evidence rules, or something else?
