A short transcript excerpt from a YouTube video by Aaron Hartman, MD. In this segment Hartman asserts that medical error is the third most common cause of death in the U.S. and references Marty McCary and two of his books—Blind Spots and The Price We Pay—as recommended readings on healthcare problems and costs.

Medical error is the third most common cause of death in our country. Now, the one interesting thing about this analysis that Marty McCary, which I think now is the head of the FDA or something like that in our country right now, he wrote a couple great books. One is Blind Spots, which talks about some of these issues. Another one is the Price We Pay, which talks about the cost of health care, our healthcare system. So two great books. You want to learn about how our system works.
