Research by the Institute of Medicine has shown that as many as 98,000 people die each year in the United States because of mistakes made by medical professionals -- that is more than the number of people who die as a result of highway accidents, breast cancer or AIDS. Moreover, this figure does not include the hundreds of thousands of people who are injured each year due to medical malpractice. Additional research by the Institute of Medicine shows that at least 1.5 million patients (750,000 women) are harmed every year from being given the wrong drugs -- that's an average of one person per U.S. hospital per day. About 2 million people a year contract hospital-related infections, and about 90,000 of those patients die, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
