im pretty sure i read that misdiagnisis was not countable in the study for some reason, and was thus excluded.

But the kind of errors that make up this number are someone who avcidentally gives 500 mg instead of 50, or gives blood to a patient without crossing it first.

A friend of mine whose anesthesia residency actually did the latter omce himself. He couldnt believe that he had made such a silly mistake, but it happened because of a logistical breakdown. He's a good doctor and if i would have no probem having him care for me. Those are the kinds of things that this study is describing. Doctors fudging diagnoses for $$$ is the kind of thing that happens in movies.
