Fixing Healthcare: Reducing Medical Errors

Medical errors kill over 250,000 Americans every year, making it the third leading cause of

death in hospitals. But here's what nobody tells you about those statistics. Most aren't from

incompetence or negligence. They're from exhausted doctors working 28-hour shifts,

outdated computer systems that don't talk to each other, and nurses managing too many patients

at once. The real twist? When hospitals invest in proper staffing, updated technology,

hours, those death rates drop by 70 percent. The system isn't broken because healthcare

workers don't care. It's broken because we've normalized conditions that make errors inevitable.
