When I started work as a doctor at the start of this year we watched a training video on this exact case narrated by the husband.
The parallels between airline and medicine are very interesting and we would do well to incorporate the hard-won lessons of airline care.
I think the major issue medicine lags here is that airline disasters are highly visible and airlines and pilots are forced to respond, whereas medical disasters are usually seen as 'one off' so even with root cause analysis of failures, injuries sustained by 1 patient periodically do not become as visible; systemic failures are harder to identify
