The problem with this depiction is the area each "death" is represented by on the page. A regular bar graph would give an equal spatial deption of each death, whereas this diagram creates a larger visual impression for those deaths on the outer perimeter of the pie chart. Nightingale maximizes her argument by putting the blue numbers on the outermost edge.

Unless, of course, she's assigned a set area to each death (e.g. 0.5cm^2), this is a great way to mislead people. Marketers make use of tricks like these all the time.
