More than 153,000 people harmed in Canada's hospitals last year, study finds

[shockedcanadian]

Canadas collapse cannot be blamed on me.

All some of us did was expose the abuses while others laughed at our suffering. Lawfare against the vulnerable is in line with this harm done in a hospital, par for the course in warm and gentle Canada.

Those last sentiments no longer fly with Americans thanks to some brave Whistleblowers. I will fight to the end to try and fix this.

Two decades after a watershed report on errors and unintended injuries in Canada’s hospitals shook the health-care sector, tens of thousands of Canadians continue to be harmed during a hospital stay — many of them, multiple times, new data show.

One in 17 hospitalizations in 2024-2025 — representing more than 153,000 people — resulted in someone experiencing a potentially preventable harm such as a drug error, hospital-acquired infection, a “patient accident” like a fall or radiation burn or some other incident serious enough to require treatment or a prolonged stay, according to the Canadian Institute for Health Information.

And the lefties on this board aspire to have a Canadian healthcare system.

Multiply by 20 the number of Canadians a year destroyed by the S.I.C.

Our economy reflects this damage.

What is the S.I.C.?

 

[shockedcanadian]

What is the S.I.C.?

Security Industrial Complex. A catch-all term.

An even more succinct description would be zersetzung.

Let me guess, it is near impossible to successfully sue the government run health care system in Canada.

Am I right?

That is why the government needs to stay out of such things as health care, it is because when something goes wrong with something like health care, which it always does, you have the government to run to in order to help you.

But with socialism, instead of having a referee call the game, the referee is running with the football as you have no one to help.

If you try to sue them you will probably be destroyed. Perhaps even added to an "undesirable dossier" at multiple agencies.

So what makes you think the U.S. Hospitals are any better? These are deaths how many have been maimed?

How Many Die From Medical Mistakes in U.S. Hospitals?

An updated estimate says it could be at least 210,000 patients a year – more than twice the number in the Institute of Medicine’s frequently quoted report, “To Err is Human.”

Too often, we journalists set aside our critical reasoning skills when it comes to alarming statistics about patient safety.

At least they could afford to go to the hospital.

So they will die or be permanently disfigured without paying a bill?

What a noble way to expire I guess.
