[QUOTE="ollie989898, post: 8180475, member: 54866"] What percentage of deaths are you prepared to accept from human error alone? I'm also dubious about asking clinicians to second-guess decisions made by others from the comfort of a desk and also considering a single case at a time in an environment where you are isolated from the actual every-day demands of professionals in their usual place of work. I've had conversations with people from both the aviation and nuclear worlds when talking about failures when it comes to healthcare. Both these industries have a system of forward rather than backward accountability. These mean systems have been created that are incredibly safe and reliable and in fact healthcare has adopted a lot of the same internal practices now. The difference is, of course, if a passenger plane crashes in a million bits tomorrow, no one is going to try suing the captain even if it was his fault. You cite examples where systematic failures led to patient harm. But these are not a clear sign that every provider and ever member of staff so employed in the UK is dangerously incompetent or corrupt to the point of trying to hide failures. I genuinely believe that the people who turn up to work each day at going to do their absolute best for the people they care for, not deliberately go out and allow people to come to harm. I am sorry if others do not share this view. [/QUOTE]
