5 things Physicians can learn from Pilots

This is a full on rant, so beware, cover your eyes/ears. 
From a MedCrunch blog by

If Pilots, or the airline industry in general, would have been on the same level of quality, quality assurance and failure management as medical doctors, at least once a week a plane would crash.



General recovery guidelines show:
10 percent of stroke survivors recover almost completely
25 percent recover with minor impairments - I think I'm here, even though my impairments are not minor
40 percent experience moderate to severe impairments requiring special care
10 percent require care in a nursing home or other long-term care facility
15 percent die shortly after the stroke, I bet with hyperacute treatment stopping the cascade of death this could be reduced substantially.
This is totally pathetic, only 10% recover completely, In other words a 90% failure rate. Who's in charge so they can be fired? 
Bring this up to everyone you know, tweet it away.
