Yes, that’s probably the reason because mistakes in health care is an absolutely massive killer. In the US alone it’s responsible for about as many deaths as if two jumbo jets collidee with each other every day. The number of people dying from the simple fact that health care practitioners are humans and humans get tired, drunk, angry, careless or just plain stupid for random reasons is mind boggling.
If we saw a midair collision of jumbo jets every day however the public would never accept it.
