This seems a more appropriate response to Alex3917's "at least question the journal articles" bit, as it supports phunel's point fairly well I think.
The "as many as 18%", "admitted to hospitals" and "Iatrogenic injuries" bits make this article say something dramatically different than "1 in 3 of all Americans (not just those hospitalized) die because of an error made by a physician".
It wasn't meant solely as a response to Alex3917, I just thought it might be useful to add something actually from a peer reviewed journal to the discussion :)
