Epidemiological estimates of national rates of iatrogenic injury (injuries induced inadvertently by doctors, treatments or diagnostic procedures) in the United States suggest that 44 to 66 serious injuries occur per 10,000 hospital visits. But in a study involving more than 200 American hospitals, only 1 per cent reported their rates of iatrogenic injury as within that range. Half of the hospitals were reporting fewer than 5 cases of injury per 10,000 hospital visits. If the epidemiological estimates were even close to accurate, the majority of hospitals were involved in industrial levels of evasion.

Black Box Thinking

Matthew Syed

You always have three options: you can change it, you can accept it, or you can leave it. What is not a good option is to sit around wishing you would change it but not changing it, wishing you could leave it but not leaving it and not accepting it. That struggle or aversion is responsible for most of our misery. The phrase I probably use the most to myself in my head is just one word: “accept.” [5]

My definition of wisdom is knowing the long-term consequences of your actions. Wisdom applied to external problems is judgment. They’re highly linked; knowing the long-term consequences of your actions and then making the right decision to capitalize on that. [78]
