    ▶ Brian Goldman did a ted talk about medical mistakes and the denial culture around it. So to answer your question through him, I would say we've all harmed a patient at some point. I don't mean to be pessimistic, on the contrary if we acknowledge that mistakes happen we're better prepared to handle them.

    yes i'm kinda aware of that. but hey, if something like ▶ this, where a doctor shared with all people his medical mistakes, can go on TED talk, something similar must exist somewhere in form of a book. ikr about the C7-T1 fracture - that's how our clinician explained why we need to do a pull-shoulder view, or swimmer's view
