My purpose wasn't to frighten. Hour after hour, day after day, "the system" works but occasionally things happen that shouldn't. It happens in any field. In a factory errors can be detected and bad products held in "QI" but in the hospital errors happen to people. If you try to decrease the amount of hours docs work you increase the number of "handoffs" which are also a big source of errors. If you decrease the workload you dilute the experience they need to learn.
