   You mean they admitted a problem?

   Whereas the computer world is eager to point out problems, even to publicly embarrass co-workers, health professionals have a long tradition of covering for each other. It will be interesting to see the clash of cultures in coming years.

   " health professionals have a long tradition of covering for each other."
   
   Uh, maybe because we live in a litigenous society where people sue doctors for frivolous things?

   no suprise

   Being in QA, I'm not suprised here.
   The only thing that gets shorter shrift than QA is tech writing.
   
   QA is thought of something that isn't really necessary. Dev's don't like it because they think they write code that's good enough and don't want to be told otherwise. PMs don't like it because it screws up their precious schedule.
   
   It's no wonder most QA work is being shunted offshore as less important work that can be done by "those people". That way, the nice white people can make their money and blame someone else from a far off land when things go wrong.
