What, you're telling me someone tried an alternative healing, and died! That's a scandal.... lock them up!

Obviously, I'm joking.

But did you know that iatrogenic deaths - deaths caused by doctors - are the 3rd largest cause of death in the US?

And when you see the numbers, bear in mind that these are only the official reported numbers! I can only imagine how many other deaths must be caused by doctors but get explained as natural deaths.
