He's wrong.

Any procedure involving any invasive (derm-piercing) tool, you're one human/process mistake away from getting exposed to super-resistant bacteria via contaminated tooling. Any procedure involving body manipulation/massages, you're one human/process mistake away from getting paralyzed neck to toe or worse. Any procedure involving anesthesia, you're one human/process mistake away from dying right here and there due to OD or allergy.

If your life comprises undergoing a million medical procedures involving any kind of invasive tools, anesthesia or surgery, you'll die from human-caused complications way before you get randomly hit by lightning.

No, I'm not saying I have a higher chance of dying IF I get hit by a bolt of lightning.

I'm saying I have a higher chance of dying by getting hit by lightning going about my life as normal than dying by getting a whole slew of routine medical procedures done.

I’m not completely sure what the parent meant, but dying IF you get hit by a bolt of lightning is not the same as dying to a bolt of lightning. I think they meant the latter.

But is definitely not the "safest medical procedure".
