Look up 'selection bias'. You seem not to be aware it exists. (In particular, those who have exceptional health, such that they need no medical interventions, are naturally especially likely not to be dead -- but that does not imply that those who do need medical interventions will necessarily be killed by them, though of course many do carry a certain degree of risk.)
