I strongly disagree - it sometimes is inept individuals in the medical field who cause mishaps, I watched a young clearly inexperienced anesthesiologist attempt to perform a spinal on my wife during labor - he spent an entire hour attempting to insert the needle between the blades of my wife's spinal column before calling for help. Rather than admitting he had either: a) never done the procedure or b) was unskilled in its application he attempted to perform it himself, and for reasons unknown thank god he didn't insert the needle into the spine incorrectly. The experienced anesthesiologist took a minute or so to do the same procedure. So yes, even in the medical field there are inept individuals who think too highly of themselves to admit & seek help when they're clearly incapable of performing the task at hand. Unfortunately those weaknesses cannot always be detected (i.e. diagnosis, etc.) without second opinions - but hey, that's why there's malpractice insurance... Plane crashes caused by pilots and doctors with medical malpractice incidents cannot be compared. In the event an airline pilot causes a plane to crash - the pilot is committed to the outcome, he's in the plane. There's no equivalent in the medical field - inject the wrong drug in a patient and its a learning experience with possible negative side effects for the patient.
