A patient may think he or she has a great doctor who is incapable of making a mistake. But we all need to be vigilant. Even great doctors make mistakes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is not comforting to know that our doctors are capable of making mistakes. Our livelihoods, even our lives, are at stake. We need to have faith in the medical professionals who are entrusted with our lives. And we can, with vigilance. We can trust our great doctors.
