在讣告中经常看到“因病医治无效而死”,但很少看到“因医治而死”。
今天由“分享 谎言求证:美国的西医师平均寿命不到60岁 ”这篇博文激发了一个念头,查查看,开始是查到一篇关于日本医生寿命的文章,说1996年时,日本医生的平均寿命比较一般人的低,尤其是妇产科医生和外科医生的寿命更低。文中提到医生在医学院毕业时一般都是身体健康的,而一般人群中则包括那些从小就身体不健康的。https://www.journalarchive.jst.go.jp/jnlpdf.php?cdjournal=jea1991&cdvol=9&noissue=5&startpage=315&lang=en&from=jnlabstract
后来又看到这篇令我吃惊的文章:因医治而死占美国死亡率的第三位
