Well, it would be the coroner rather than the surgeon/anaesthetist, but we all know that they're also part of the conspiracy.......

Quite possibly (don't men count too?), but if you extrapolate the 750,000 quoted from the USA to the UK population it comes out at 150,000/year rather than 32. With about 500,000 deaths per year in the UK that implies that just under 1/3 are due to medical negligence.
That works out at the equivalent of 300 fully-loaded 747s crashing fatally every year in the UK alone.
Since medical care probably saves less than 150,000/year in the UK then abolishing medicine will obviously save many lives.
