If the number of medical errors we have in hospitals was the same as pilot errors in airlines, we’d have 267 fully loaded (366 passenger) Boeing 747’s crash EVERY year.
That’s how many people medical errors kill. What’s being done about this? Not as much as you’d think. Doctors are overworked, nurses are overworked, etc. No one has enough sleep.
The medical field needs to follow the aviation field and it’s incredibly good culture of safety.
