Who gave medical doctors authority in healthcare ?
Seriously, who?
1. Heart Disease: 695,547
2. Cancer: 613,929
3. Iatrogenic (Medical Errors, Excluding Chiropractic/Naturopathic): ~250,000
4. COVID-19: 186,552
5. Unintentional Injuries: 181,936
6. Stroke: ~150,000
7. Alzheimer’s Disease: ~120,000
8. Diabetes: ~100,000 … (continuing through top 50 causes, e.g., rank 50: Certain congenital malformations, ~1,000 deaths)
….
Less than all that :
• Rank ~70–80: Chiropractic-Related Deaths: ~10–26
• Comparable to causes like lightning strikes (~20 deaths, rank ~75) or cataclysmic storms (~15–25 deaths, rank ~78). Chiropractic deaths, at ~10–26, would likely rank in the 70s, as they are slightly more frequent than rare causes like legal execution (~18 deaths, rank ~76) but less than drowning in natural water (~50 deaths, rank ~65).
• Rank ~80–90: Naturopathic-Related Deaths: <10
• Comparable to extremely rare causes like rabies (~5–10 deaths, rank ~85) or venomous animal bites (~5–10, rank ~88). With <10 deaths, naturopathic deaths would rank in the 80s or 90s, near causes like accidental suffocation in bed (~5 deaths, rank ~90) or unspecified external causes (<10, rank ~92).
