      Jan 29 2012: agree intent is important. but suggest at some point human error becomes gross incompetence or worse. there is a recent case here where a doctor removed parts of a woman far beyond what was discussed and agreed preop. he thought he was doing her a favour with no overt malice just criminal arrogance lack of empathy and professional ethics and process. it was an error of judgement and everything was not fine.

    Jan 28 2012: We all make mistakes. What stops us from talking about them is the fear of litigation.
