First Do No Harm is a 1997
American television film.
About a boy whose
severe epilepsy, unresponsive to
medications with terrible side
effects, is controlled by
the ketogenic diet.
Aspects of the story mirror the
Director Jim Abrahams' own
experience with his son Charlie.

Estimated extent of medical injuries 3.7% (1114 Out of 30 121) patients admitted to 51
acute care hospitals in New York state reported adverse
events/injuries caused by medical management
A subsequent analysis of the same data found that 69%
of injuries were caused by preventable errors. (The
Harvard Study, USA, 1984)
Patient Safety By Dr. Abdalla Ibrahim 5
Adverse events occurred at a rate of 2.9 percent.
Death resulted in 8.8 percent of adverse events due to
negligence.
The total proportion of adverse events causing death
was 6.6 percent.

“At least 44,000 people, and perhaps as many as
98,000 people, die in hospitals each year as a
result of medical errors that could have been
prevented”. (IOM Report, 1999)
Patient Safety By Dr. Abdalla Ibrahim 8
The total number of estimated admissions in USA in 1997 was 33.6
million.
When the results of the New York study are applied (13.6 percent
of adverse events leading to death) the number of deaths due to
adverse events was 98 000.
When the Utah/Colorado results are used (6.6 percent of adverse
events leading to death) the number of deaths was estimated to be
44 000.
This is the claim that 44 000 to 98 000 people die each year due to
medical errors, making medical errors the 8th leading cause of
death in the United States.
Patient Safety By Dr. Abdalla Ibrahim 9
16.6% of 14 179 admissions to 28 hospitals in New

51% of adverse events were considered to have been
preventable.
