The Mistake.

Prominent doctors describe the errors that still haunt them to this day. This video that was shown in class highlights an important point about doctors that we often neglect: doctors are human beings too and can all make mistakes. It is an unavoidable consequence of being human. We are not borne of metal and hydraulics, producing perfect results every time with an inconsequential error rate; we are not machines. We are living, breathing, and thinking human beings. We can think about the problem and the circumstances that brought us to that point and we can change the way we approach a situation. We can change our ways to ensure those mistakes do not happen again. Only then will those moments not have been in vain.
