Original Note:
Doctors are not the leading cause of death. Heart disease is the top cause of death, followed by cancer. Medical errors do occur. However, it wrong to say doctors kill more people than cancer. https://www.cancer.org/research/acs-research-news/facts-and-figures-2021.html https://www.statista.com/statistics/1254560/leading-causes-of-death-in-the-us-average-number-daily/ https://newsroom.heart.org/news/more-than-half-of-u-s-adults-dont-know-heart-disease-is-leading-cause-of-death-despite-100-year-reign The sources for the sensational headline are not credible. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_People%27s_Voice_(website) https://thepeoplesvoice.tv/official-report-doctors-kill-more-people-than-cancer/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_News https://dcclothesline.com/2023/05/26/report-doctors-kill-more-people-than-cancer/
