Aviation and medicine are two complex fields involving many interdependent steps where problems can occur. When they inevitably do the outcome can be catastrophic, leading to injury or even loss of life. ⋯ More importantly, they are very open and committed to discussing every event or near event to improve the system, and are supported in this by their superiors without fear of punishment or retribution.
