Certainly not any good hospitals would. I am sure that some not-so-good hospitals have killed people before.
Answer:
Discounting murder mystery plots where patients are targeted to gain estate money for the hospitals, as part of international spy plots, or feed hordes of Zombies in the basement, patients do die in hospitals. These deaths are sometimes a result of disease and their complications and at other times due to the actions of the hospitals. Whether this is killing the patients or causing their deaths is debatable. Causes of this type of death are:
- Misadventure. The wrong drug or treatment is employed by accident
- Misdiagnosis. The patient is treated for the wrong disease
- Patient instructions. The patient refuses services which might prolong his life.
- As a side effect. Use of palliative medications hastens death but reduces pain or suffering
- To little to late: Delays of patient arriving at hospital or to enter into proper treatment allow disease to progress to far to be treated
- Unexpected complications. Patient has secondary problems which are undetected until the primary problem is treated.
- Hospital acquired infections.
