The Longer we Dwell on our Misfortunes, the Greater is their Power to Harm us

Abstract

Remarkably, there is no place for inaccuracies and errors in modern era of value-based care medicine. The high stress clinical setting and the challenging demands within the medical field, to enhance improvement in patient safety culture. It is a difficult experience for health care practitioners to witness expected patient tragedies, and affect the most resilient health providers. Intended harm and negligence due to vindictiveness is extremely rare; yet, we treat our caregivers who are involved in human error and system failures with blame, shame, and, what may be most destructive and abandonment.
