I'm not holding medicine up to be the best, just commenting that there appears to be some areas which we do better
What areas are they? We could learn from each other. For the last few years I have regularly found myself in a corner at the family bbq's with a family friend who is a surgeon discussing CRM and human factors in general. The conversations always go the same way as he tries to learn more about how it works in aviation and how he could apply it within his industry. From these conversations I have developed the impression that medicine is literally decades behind aviation in this respect.This may just be for my my part of the world but I doubt it, NZ and Ausi are normally pretty good with industry standards.

Honest question so I can put it to him at the next bbq, which areas are better? (please don't say fatigue management)
Kind Regards,
Framer
