Content Article CommentHello Claire and thanks for your comment. I have been traveling and had not checked back on the website to see your comment. I have no idea what happened to this chap or, more sadly, to the institution where he works or worked. Self denial is a strong defense mechanism, often manifest in ego-centrics, a tough group to engage with in my view. I am preparing a manuscript that will be posted soon that delves further into the topic of personal responsibility. Cheers Dan

Content ArticleIn this commentary, I reflect on how we may all suffer from some degree of professional complacency. Healthcare professionals do not get up in the morning intending to harm anyone, but normal human liabilities can impair our performance. We may often fail to recognise environmental and situational risks, and, more importantly, to admit to our own personal liabilities and, thus, the risks we bring into the healthcare environment.
