Not Ranked
I did a quick check on the numbers, comparing to Mexico. For drug related iatrogenic cause of death (essentially Doctors/Hosptials responsible for a patients death) were running about the same rate as Mexico on a percentage basis. Mexico actually is a little better than the US in that regard.
The World Health Organization ranks America 15th out 25 civilized Nations for health care. The best health care in the world in America? FAR from it!
Iatrogenic cause of death (death by Doctor) is the THIRD LEADING CAUSE of death in the United States. Our health care system is badly broken.
