Press Release Body = A third of all hospital doctors make at least one major mistake
- which may harm the patient or even result in his death - every year, a new study
has discovered.
As a result, the physician may become so upset by the blunder that his chances of
committing another mistake increase dramatically.

In all, 34% of doctors admitted that they had made at least one \'major\' medical
error in a year while working at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.
Disturbing though the findings are, the situation could be even worse. Not all
doctors at the clinic were prepared to participate in the study, and there is also
the likelihood that not every blunder was admitted.

It\'s been reckoned by the Institute of Medicine that 100,000 Americans die each year
as a direct result of a medical mistake, while other studies have estimated that
anything from 10 per cent to 50 per cent of patients may be a victim of a medical
error while in hospital.

The new study for the first time tells us just how many doctors are committing the
errors - while another study published in the same week suggests the reason could be
down to sleep loss.

Researchers tracked the heart and artery health of 22 doctors working in an
intensive care unit, and found that their functions deteriorated dramatically while
on a long shift. The rest of the unit refused to participate because it meant they
would have to go without coffee for the entire shift.
( Journal of the American Medical Association, 2006).

What that means for you is that it's time to take charge of your health. To this
day, doctors don't even admit to the power of the Placebo, the fact that in tests, a
sugar pill administered as a powerful medicine can have as much healing power as the
most potent drug. Did you know that there is a man who can shrink and expand his
cancer tumor at will, while in the doctor's office and under rigorous tests.
There is much that modern medicine doesn't understand about the body.

The body is so complex that it is dependent on the person who inhabits it, and its
state of well-being is strongly influenced by your state of mind and the quality of
your life. All these crucial aspects of health are discussed in much more detail in
Cancer-Free-For-Life com on the website of the same name.

Doctors just don't have the time to get to know you, to learn about your life and
what's on your mind. This can easily lead to their mis-diagnosing your disease.
Educate yourself and understand the origins and causes of disease. Cancer Free For
Life reveals the results of 25 years of research and shows how we make ourselves
sick and how we can heal ourselves in an instant.
