So begins Killed by Care: Making Medicine Safe, a 47-minute production from the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, released by Icarus Films—a provocative video that explores how medical errors can occur and their effects on patients, families, physicians, and health care systems. Although, as pointed out in the film, an estimated 10 000 to 24 000 Canadians die of medical mistakes annually, the number in the United States has been estimated to be 44 000 to 98 000 annually, more than the number attributable to motor vehicle crashes, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, or breast cancer.1
