Sometime back there was an article, or several articles
listing the number of deaths in the USA caused by
cancer, accidents, heart failures, and those caused by
allopathic doctors.

Deaths caused by allopaths topped the list.

I wonder if someone still has those figures and would
they please forward it to me through the list or privately.

Many thanks in advance.

Here's an article that goes over the numbers from two studies on
this: http://www.wrongdiagnosis.com/mistakes/common.htm

But iatrogenic deaths aren't at the top of the list. The high
estimate is about 225,000 deaths, which would place it in 3rd place.

This number includes both medical errors and adverse effects of
treatment, 186,000 of those 225,000 deaths are due to infections in
hospitals and non-error adverse affects of medications, which some
would argue are often in people who would have died anyhow (ignoring
alternative treatment options, of course). But even the 39,000 deaths
from medical errors would come in 9th place.
