Unneeded surgery blamed for 10000 US deaths yearly
Dr Sidney Wolfe testifies to a Commission on Medical Malpractice that at least 10,000 Americans die annually from unnecessary surgeries. He cites tonsillectomies, appendectomies, and hysterectomies, says figures come from a book by a pseudonymous surgeon, and argues reform is needed amid a health care crisis with varied professional responses.
