Interesting! A colleague of mine was at a cocktail party recently where he met a surgeon who was expounding the value of his profession's recent adoption of Crm as a tool. My pal asked him if the most junior person in the theatre during an operation can call a halt to proceedings on the basis that he/she thinks an error is about to be comitted. The surgeon was horrified at the thought.
While I realise that you cannot generalise about the whole surgical profession, until that situation exists, they are only paying lip service to it.
