A few weeks ago I went to a lecture by an american doctor who spoke about medical mistakes and the way they are handled by patients and, more importantly, by the physicians who made them. He stressed the importance of talking about what went wrong, to learn from the experience but also to acknowledge the emotions of both patient and doctor.
Fascinating stuff and an inspiring speaker. Take a look at their site if you're interested www.mitss.org/.
Of course it made me think about the way the doctors in House deal with this, like Lupe and the guy with the dog.
