PrepTest 65, Section 2, Question 15
Researcher: Every year approximately the same number of people die of iatrogenic "disease"ÔøΩthat is, as a direct result of medical treatments or hospitalizationÔøΩas die of all other causes combined. Therefore, if medicine could find ways of preventing all iatrogenic disease, the number of deaths per year would decrease by half.

The reasoning in the researcher's argument is flawed because the argument fails to consider that
prevention of noniatrogenic disease will have an effect on the occurrence of iatrogenic disease
some medical treatments can be replaced by less invasive or damaging alternatives
people who do not die of one cause may soon die of another cause
there is no one way to prevent all cases of death from iatrogenic disease
whenever a noniatrogenic disease occurs, there is a risk of iatrogenic disease
