Dr. John Trowbridge, Marquis Who’s Who Top Doctor in Advance Medicine, the Recipient of The Marquis Who’s Who Lifetime Achievement Award, and best-selling author, talks about a fairly common practice among many mainstream physicians that ultimately ends up doing more harm than good to patients.

HOUSTON. TX, January 31, 2021: Dr. John Trowbridge, Marquis Who’s Who Top Doctor in Advanced Medicine and the recipient of the Marquis Who’s Who Lifetime Achievement Award, posted a new article on his website entitled, “The Vow Of Do No Harm vs. The Pride Of Make No Mistake.” Dr. Trowbridge tells his readers that taking responsibility for their own health is better than giving up complete responsibility to any doctor. 

Dr. Trowbridge states, “Most people are unaware that medical errors kill anywhere from 44,000 to 98,000 Americans each year.” He adds, “With a statement like that from an expert panel formed by the Institute of Medicine, part of the National Academy of Sciences, the truth could very well be that your doctor, instead of healing you, is possibly harming you.” https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1117251/

“With that score and a global pandemic,” says Dr. Trowbridge, “you may wonder how good your chances of survival really are! The medical mistakes are far more insidious than the COVID-19 virus.”

Dr. Trowbridge turns to the National Institute of Health article quoted above, citing, “According to the chairman of the 19-member panel that concluded the aforementioned effects of medical errors, William C Robinson, president of the W K Kellogg Foundation in Battle Creek, Michigan at the time, “These stunningly high rates of medical errors—resulting in deaths, permanent disability, and unnecessary suffering—are simply unacceptable in a medical system that promises first to ‘do no harm.’”

According to Dr. Trowbridge, “In large part, the errors are a result of what physicians are taught.” He continues, “This was addressed in a New York Times article back in 1999, entitled “Do No Harm – Breaking Down Medicine’s Culture of Silence.” The article states that, “Physicians are taught that it’s your job not to make a mistake. It’s like a sin. The whole concept of error as sin, as a moral failing, is deeply ingrained in medicine, and it is very destructive. It means people cannot talk about it, because it is too painful.”

According to Dr. Trowbridge, “I acknowledge this to be true. And this is in large part why I parted ways with the mainstream medical community very early on in my career.”

“If a physician is taught to do no harm and not to make mistakes,” says Dr. Trowbridge, “that is a terrible bind. It seems the fear of making mistakes has won out in our society. Combine that with a culture that is more impressed with high tech surgeries and pills that promise instant relief instead of actually discovering what is at the root of a patient’s actual suffering/pain/malady, and you have got yourself one heck of a mess.”
