In this new 60 Minute Insider Exclusive Investigative Network TV Special, “AMERICA’S MEDICAL MALPRACTICE CRISIS – What You Need to Know”, our News Team visits with Oliver “Jackson” Schrumpf, partner in Schrumpf & Schrumpf Law Office PLLC, and goes behind the headlines to see why as many as many as 440,000 patients die each year from preventable medical errors, which makes medical errors the third-leading cause of death in America, behind heart disease, which is first, and cancer, which is second.
These patients are not dying from the illnesses that caused them to seek hospital care in the first place. They are dying from mistakes that hospitals could have prevented.
The New England Journal of Medicine reported that 1% of physicians accounted for 32% of paid malpractice claims over the last 10 years. The ugly truth is that little is being done to hold these dangerous doctors accountable.
For the last 15 years, The Insider Exclusive Investigative Documentary Network TV News team has produced dozens of headline-making Network TV stories of real life Medical malpractice cases….which tell the stories of victims of medical malpractice… up close and personal, gritty and provocative, and always unfiltered in an informative, immersive and entertaining manner across multiple platforms.
