  • Though this was an idiocity, I think we need to be careful with just blaming the surgeon and that’s it.

    Errors like this usually happen because of a chain of various circumstances and other little mistakes, like with airplane crashes.

    I think it would be much better that we treat these sort of incidents like airplane crashes. Investigate everything that went wrong, all causes, without focussing on guilt during the investigation. Guilt can be determined from the results of that, but primarily I want that we get data on how this happened in the first place, and what we can do to avoid this from happening again. This strategy was highly successful in aviation, I’d like to see that applied here too because too much shit still goes too much wrong in healthcare
