,000 Silent Deaths: Why Hospitals Hide the True Toll

著者：
Four hundred thousand Americans die in hospitals each year from preventable harms-more than the CDC’s seventy-five thousand annual deaths from hospital-acquired infections-and only seventeen thousand malpractice cases proceed through the legal system; how does a system that produces that scale of harm also make most of it disappear from public redress? What forces turned these deaths into a statistical abstraction instead of named victims?
In this episode, we trace the research and records that produced rising estimates of hospital-caused deaths from 1984 onward, follow John T. James’s peer-reviewed tally of four hundred thousand preventable deaths, and unpack why the legal process resolves only a fraction of cases-raising the question of how structural features of medicine and law enable this gap.
