These are fascinating but discouraging to read.My general approach to medicine is -- do your best to avoid hospitals and procedures, but use them when they are needed. My reasoning is that not only are there these 'active' harms, but there's also just incidental things like staff that's too tired, antibiotic-resistant disease strains, poor sleep conditions, etc. Am I off-base with this? I'm open to being convinced otherwise.
