Can you cite a reference for this 180,000 malpractice deaths per year
figure?

        From: Michael S. Lorrey
        Good point, but then again, 180,000 people die in the US every year
from
        medical malpractice, which is obviously of epidemic proportions if
the
        AMA's claim that 32,000 deaths a year is an epidemic, yet I don't
see
        the AMA demanding more doctor control laws...
