Thank you for your very insightful reply! I definitely agree that better science and more professional input can only benefit the outcomes of delivering healthcare. Thank you also for sharing the article it is a very interesting point that add more prospective to my previous knowledge :)

So I’d love to ask:
What do you do to make sure you practice safely — and how do you encourage others to speak up when it matters most?
Let’s share ideas.
#Healthcare #PatientSafety #HumanFactors #TeamCulture

In healthcare, we love checklists, protocols, systems.
But how much do we focus on making people feel safe to challenge, question, or raise concerns?
That’s also where real safety is.

That case shows something crucial:
It’s not the stakes that drive safer practice — it’s the culture.
The freedom to question decisions without fear.
The freedom to speak up.

Yesterday, during a lecture at uni, we discussed a tragic aviation case:
A co-pilot who knew they wouldn’t have enough fuel but didn’t challenge the captain’s decision.
They died in that crash.

A seasoned perfusionist once told me:
“The problem with surgery is that it’s not like aviation. In aviation, you do the checklist because your own life depends on it.”
Until we see safety as that important, we’ll struggle to make it part of our culture.

Fantastic! Thank you so much for the insight :)

Hi there just to let you know that the link seems to not be working. Could you post it again?

Very interesting image! I’m learning plain film CXR so pardon me if I’m asking a silly question but there is any reason why the XR was done AP and not PA? Thanks for your time in answering this :)
