  • i like how you interpret the errors, and you're absolutely right.

  • Lucian Leape first noted the large amount of medical errors in the American medical system. Some technical issues are easily prevented by system changes, but many errors are related to abusive training of doctors, people with personality disorders who are allowed to run wild, and intimidation or degradation of the patient and their experience.

  • A system to learn from each other mistakes...thats great
