The relative frequency of medical negligence in our hospitals and clinics is frightening and the affects on people, catastrophic. According to the Consumers Union, there are 80,000 patients a year who die in this country as a result of medical negligence of physicians. This issue was recently studied by the Institute of Medicine, a division of the National Academy of Sciences, a private organization chartered by the United States Congress to advise the government on scientific matters. The report, issued late in 1999, found that between 44,000 and 98,000 hospitalized Americans die every year from medical errors. Medical malpractice is an area of specialization.
