Trached, he wrote a note to his dad, "get me out of here, they are going to kill me." His dad listened, thank goodness, and had him moved to a different hospital where treatment decisions were overturned in time and his life saved. The word for illnesses and conditions caused by doctors is "iatrogenic."
