Recent Study Finds Only Half Of U.S. Pediatricians Would Admit Medical Error

Posted on Oct 08, 2008

From U.S. News & World Report: A recent study revealed that of those surveyed, only half of U.S. pediatricians would admit committing a medical error in the treatment of one of the children under their care. It seems that there is often concern with having to admit these errors to the parents of such children, who are often (and justifiably) protective of their children.

This news of this survey comes only weeks after a separate story found "that medication errors, including accidental overdoses and adverse reactions, affect about one in every 15 hospitalized children."
