Wondering if anyone out ther knows where to find accurate data as to the current worldwide number of doctors of medicine, chiropractic and naturopathy. (I googled for quite a while to no avail…) Also, where would one look for data on adverse drug reactions and the number of patients harmed and the number killed each year by it, and how much malpractice claims in general and specifically related to adverse drug reactions are worth? Thx
