at which link you'll immediately notice that it claims 250,000 people are
killed by doctors each year. that's broken down into large categories, the
largest of which is 80,000 killed by infections occurring in hospitals (and
notice that the footnote hyperlink takes you to a completely unrelated

That means the doctor kills you by putting you in the hospital, right?
