520    The Institute of Medicine released a landmark report, 
       which revealed that as many as 250,000 Americans die every
       year as a result of medical error. In Malpractice, 
       neurosurgeon and attorney Dr. Lawrence Schlachter makes a 
       case that most patients enter the system without any idea 
       of the risks they face, due to a medical culture that 
       denies there is a patient safety problem. He argues that 
       medical culture actively avoids transparency, perpetuates 
       an atmosphere of blind deference to doctors, and protects 
       dangerous doctors from accountability.
