Abstract
Sociologist Charles Bosk studied medical error for more than five decades. His core insight was that medicine is a human enterprise, marked by all of the hope, passion, frailty, and pathos of human nature. This often led him away from the kinds of engineering solutions that have been proposed in patient safety and process engineering, and toward a radical understanding of culture, character, and human responsibility.
