Surgery is a risk itself! Actually sergeants must be encouraged to make researches on saving an organ having problems 'without' surgery. For instance a gallbladder with a large stone can be saved with an ERCP cutting the stone and getting it out without cholesystectomy! Noone wastes time on this!!!!
I'll give you a hint on how to fix this: Make them hire more people. Hospitals are woefully understaffed. When your job boils down to playing Whack-a-Mole, you're going to miss some moles.
And this is Massachusetts, where the hygiene standards are relatively high. Go to some Southern States, and you will have surgical liquids collected in buckets. 🤷🏻♀️
Woefully understaffed hospitals are going to have more medical errors. The hospital's solution to low staffing is to buy the staff a walkie-talkie that calls the staff for quicker responses to concierge needs that take priority over actual patient care.
