In the UK, if a patient lives or dies, it's no biggie - the doctor,
nurse, or hospital janitor gets paid the same. A recent report claimed
that upwards of 130,000 people die each year in the UK from
non-treatment or poor treatment.

How many of those people chose palliative treatment rather than
aggressive "life"-saving treatment?

He also forgot to mention that around 200,000 die each year in the US
from medical mistakes - and that apparently doesn't include non-treatment.
