It's not the age of the pilot or doctor, but the experience. In WW2, some pilots were considered combat capable after 150 hours of flight time, basically 6 months. They died. Eventually the flight programs ended up taking 1.5-2 years on average to crank out a new pilot. A pilot that also died quickly.
Now in war, you have to throw bodies at a problem, and if the bodies end up 6 ft under, that's war. But generally bad pilots only kill themselves, they don't kill patient after patient through malpractice.
- mistermann 7y agoTechnically, it is the skill level. Indeed there is a very strong causal relationship between skill and experience, but we have no data in the realm being discussed so it may be helpful if we were to explicitly realize we are speculating, as I'd think this may improve the quality of our thinking and decision making.
