The person who is most likely to kill you is not a mugger or a drunken driver, it’s your doctor!
Doctors nowadays are counting deaths at a faster rate than car crashes, homicide or Alzheimer’s.
10. Mistakes
In nearly all jobs, messing up means back-chatting your boss, sending the wrong email, losing a client, or even causing a financial loss. But things are a lot worse if you work in a pharmacy or a hospital.
As stated by the Institute of Medicine, mistakes kill about 44,000 American patients every year! (Such a terrifying number).
There are so many cases of ending a patient’s life due to a mistake, such as the pregnant woman who visited her pharmacist for antibiotics to find out later that she swallowed a home-abortion drug. Fortunately, her unborn child survived.
Others haven’t got lucky like that woman who went to have her kidney removed at a UK hospital to die when the surgeon tried to remove her liver. While in Italy, 8 people were killed due to a mix up between an anesthetic and an oxygen tube.
9. Kickbacks
The medical profession comes with benefits (pretty much like politics), and by benefits I mean bribes!
Just last year, a popular pharmaceutical company was charged for offering doctors kickbacks to promote their products.
It’s not just a few bucks every now and then, doctors who went with the flow could get themselves into 5-star hotels in locations like Bermuda as well as luxury day trips there.
Pfizer, one of the world’s premier biopharmaceutical companies, might have even bribed the Chinese government.
At present, at least 4 major companies, including some of the biggest names in the business are facing trial for bribe cases.
8. Targets
Almost any business has some feature of performance-related pay. Basically, targets accelerate productivity, shake off laziness, and increase performance.
