Hospital Diagnostic Errors Send Nearly 1 in 4 Patients to ICU

re:The Epoch Times
Most published research findings are false, but ones like this have more credibility, even in a disgraced journal like JAMA.
Also, it mirrors personal experience—doctor excellence juxtaposed with gross incompetence at the “best” hospitals eg Stanford Medical. And don’t get me started on the dereliction-of-duty nurses out there.
Hospital Diagnostic Errors Send Nearly 1 in 4 Patients to ICU
2024-01-10
Diagnostic errors in U.S. hospitals are sending nearly one in four patients to the intensive care unit, according to the results of a new study.
In the cohort study conducted by a team from UC San Francisco and the University of Colorado School of Medicine, it was found that 23 percent of patients either received incorrect diagnoses or experienced delays in diagnosis. Of these cases, 17 percent resulted in temporary or permanent harm to the patient.
The study’s results are published in the January edition of the Journal of the American Medical Association.

WIND: that comes to 4% of all hospital patients suffering “temporary or permanent harm”. And those are only the worst cases that could be established with reasonable certainty. I am certain that the harms done to me while in the hospital would never fall into this account, though the harms were not permanent.
This should not be a surprise: the nation is suffering, in every field and endeavor, a competence crisis. With the new wave of DEI (aka DIE) and ESG and social justice warriors at medical schools, it’s going to get worse, much worse.
