10 Terrible Ways Doctors are Trying to Kill You

Last Updated on January 7, 2021

It was reported that 4,000 women are opened up every year to treat breast tumors that were harmless in the first place.

Equally disappointing is this Kentucky hospital being sued by 400 patients for carrying out surgeries just because they want to rank in the subsequent insurance payouts!

4. Neglect

Neglect can be much worse than needless surgery.

In UK hospitals, the cases of neglect-related deaths are too many that it would be impossible to list them all here.

A 22-year-old male died of thirst in his bed after the staff refused to provide him with water, even worse, about 110 other patients experienced the same fate last year while 43 others starved to death.

These are humans in hospitals, in developed countries, who are supposed to take around the clock care.

Elderly patients are struggling too, with ill-treatment including harassment, bullying, and abuse. Complaints totaled over 36,000 in just one year.

3. Laziness

Even when they’re not neglectful, some doctors endanger patients through laziness.

A few years back, the Long Island North Shore University Hospital was caught with a hand washing rate of 10%!

Hundreds of doctors and nurses fail to check routine things such as the patient’s blood pressure, either because they forget or they’re not supervised.

Basic care also got worse. Doctors in Worcestershire hospital were prescribing tap water to make sure the nurses would actually bother to give patients the needed water to survive!

There are numerous similar stories but we’d like to stop here because this is just too depressing.

2. Involuntary Euthanasia

Sometimes, there’s just no possible way to save a life. For instance, they may be brain dead in a coma with zero chances of recovery, besides taking up some needed beds.

With a sinking heart, the doctors in accordance with the family pull the switch, knowing that was the best option.

Some UK hospitals were found pushing patients to welcome death to help the terminally ill before they’re ready to pass away. Six doctors told the Daily Telegraph that this procedure was used at times to lessen the strain on hospital resources, meaning that their duty to save your life doesn’t come first.

Well, not all doctors are that bad, some happen to be decent people who truly want to help patients. Unfortunately, the rest of their profession is not letting them be.
