Checklist. Communication. Teamwork

In surgery and in the air, the work can seem routine, yet the overall job is highly complex and unpredictable. Stress and fatigue can affect performance. And there's the challenge of working with a team of people, any one of whom could make a mistake that could ultimately end in loss of life. Then again, a member of the team could also detect an error while it can still be fixed and save the day.
