DOCTOR MISTAKES/ERRORS

We have created a myth in our society that doctors are infallible, that they don't make errors, don't have to look things up, and have a compendium of knowledge that incorporates every disease, every treatment and every consequence of treatment in their field and know it all by heart! Nothing, of course, could be further from the truth. Doctors do make mistakes, do forget and don't know everything. How did the myth of infallibility have its inception? It has been fostered by doctors themselves. Doctors are taught from their first day in medical school that they are supposed to be infallible and when they do not live up to this impossible goal they are so embarrassed that errors are rarely reported and, therefore, even more rarely, corrected.
