[Article] “How many lives does a doctor save? (Part 3)” by Gregory Lewis

This is Part 3 of an updated version of a classic three-part series of 80,000 Hours blog posts. You can also read updated versions of Part 1 and Part 2. You can still read the original version of the series published in 2012. It's fair to say working as a doctor does not look that great so far.
