Error
Definition: The state of being wrong in judgement
We are human and as such we are all prone to errors. In this episode I tell the story of a medical error I made and explore what happened.
As well as trying to reduce error as individuals we need to understand that they will happen and understand what we can learn from them, both for ourselves, and also for our colleagues and the systems we work in.
A lighter look at an error in the Oscars ceremony in 2017, which you can watch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KeOxeuiZjs is covered in the podcast: Cautionary Tales with Tim Harford: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/cautionary-tales-with-tim-harford/id1484511465?i=1000603311578
Imagine making an error live in front of 33 million people ...
What systems do you work with or have in place for yourself to reduce error in your work?
This is the story of an error I made over 20 years ago; I have altered some details about the case to anonymise the patient involved. The error and complaint were fully investigated at the time by my employing hospital.
Thanks for listening,
