Yes, very. . . .

The conclusion of the cited article and the commentary:

CONCLUSIONS: The perception of having made a mistake creates significant emotional distress for practicing physicians. The severity of this distress may be influenced by factors such as prior beliefs and perfectionism. The extent to which physicians share this distress with colleagues may be influenced by the degree of competitiveness engendered by medical training. Open discussion of mistakes should be more prominent in medical training and practice, and there should be continued research on this topic.

I did talk with a friend this morning about the episode.  And even though everyone will be fine, and the patient will recover, and her bladder will return to normal...I still feel like shit.

Somehow, I feel like if this is what's gonna happen to you if you operate (when complications, misadventure, and HIGH adventure), then get off the pot..

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
