> **[Crew resource management](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crew_resource_management)** may have had its start in aviation, but these days it’s supposed to be a thing in pretty much any situation where a small mistake can have disastrous consequences…including surgical/medical procedures.

I know some of the people working to bring CRM into medicine and let me tell you - they are frustrated. It’s been a much tougher slog getting that to take hold in medicine than aviation and there is still a lot of resistance. There’s been some success with checklists, but that’s the easy part of CRM. What’s much harder is changing the longstanding power dynamic between doctors and nurses, and until that’s more successful the communication issues are difficult to improve.

End of hijack - if anyone would like to discuss that issue further, perhaps see me in the General Aviation thread.
