错误和失误发生在人类生活和活动的大多数领域，包括医学。一个错误可以是简单和良性的收集额外的和不必要的尿液样本。或者一个错误可能会导致严重但可逆的伤害，例如糖尿病患者胰岛素过量，导致低血糖，癫痫发作和昏迷。或者一个错误可能会导致严重的和永久性的损害，病人，如未能考虑会厌炎在初步鉴别诊断，导致慢性植物人状态的一个7岁的男孩。或者一个错误可能是一个导致病人死亡的判断错误。
Mistakes and errors happen in most spheres of human life and activity, including in medicine. A mistake can be as simple and benign as the collection of an extra and unnecessary urine sample. Or a mistake can cause serious but reversible harm, such as an overdose of insulin in a patient with diabetes, resulting in hypoglycemia, seizures, and coma. Or a mistake can result in serious and permanent damage for the patient, such as the failure to consider epiglottitis in an initial differential diagnosis, resulting in a chronic vegetative state for a seven-year-old boy. Or a mistake can be an error in judgment that leads to a patient's death.
