From the BMJ metaanalysis itself: "Medical error has been defined as an unintended act (either of omission or commission) or one that does not achieve its intended outcome...."
This means if you come to my ED and you are dieing, and I give you medication to try to keep you from dieing, yet you still die, then it counts in this terrible metaanalysis as a "medical error."
Statistics lie, and liars use statistics.
