"You donīt want to know how many people die without valid reason while on the operating table, "

Very few, based on 35 years of experience in many different surgical disciplines and operating theaters.

"....how many people get operated on the wrong part of their body...."

In tens of thousands of procedures witnessed and preformed professionally I can recall two

"....or based on a wrong diagnose."

Yes it happens, but not very often. Can't always get the diagnosis right. I'm good, but I'm not God.

"CRM in the operating room is still in a developing stage."

That at least is true - but we have pretty good CRM in my theaters.

If you're going to be alarmist at least base it on facts.
