Or so claims Louise Lane in her cheaply produced but spendy book of similar title ("Appointment with Danger: Medical Care Can Kill You), a copy of which landed near my desk.
The review copy came with a complimentary "bookmark" (a thin slip of paper, really) that reads:
Medical care is the third leading cause of death in the United States.
Riiiiight. Evidence this book is maybe not the best ever written?
"This book will focus on 'Just the facts'..." - page 16.
"In Stony Brook, Long Island, a baby just six days old died as a result of being given ten times the amount of potassium chloride. ... One can wonder if the indificual who made the mistake got his position through affirmative action." - page 82.
Sweet.
