Join Facts Verse as we review the troubling cases of several well-known stars that have died due to medical malpractice. Each year over 1.5 million patients become victims of medical malpractice in the US alone – and a quarter of them end up dying. With numbers like those, it's no surprise that celebrities would face the same risk of dying due to medical malpractice.
Sometimes the accidents are a direct result of a doctors' failure to review their patients' medical files before giving them their diagnosis, performing medical procedures, or rendering treatment. Other times, it's the medication or dosage of drugs that a doctor prescribes that ends up becoming the problem.
While the notion of dying at the hands of those that are supposed to protect us is pretty scary, fortunately, incidents of medical malpractice are still relatively rare. That being said, sadly, sometimes things still end up going horribly wrong – and the families and friends of the celebrities we're about to discuss in this video know this all too well.
When celebrities die because of medical malpractice, they aren't the only ones that have to pay a hefty price for the accident. Their doctors and physicians are often left with astronomical bills to pay to the stars' surviving friends and family. As you might expect, a wrongful-death settlement is normally for a pretty substantial dollar amount. You won't believe what some doctors and hospitals have had to pay after celebrity families have held them accountable for their loved one's death.
