How health writers view medicine

Reporting on health care can make you wary of fad diets, Google, and excessive medical care, Julia Belluz and Sarah Kliff write: "Medical errors kill more people than car crashes or new disease outbreaks. They kill more people annually than breast cancer, AIDS, plane crashes, or drug overdoses. Depending on which estimate you use, medical errors are either the third or ninth leading cause of death in the United States." More from Beth Skwarecki.
