But, what if you got the wrong patient because you were sleepy and it was affecting your judgement and clarity of thinking? I'd say there's a decent amount that could still fall under that.
That's why there are multiple pre-op Checkpoints with nurses involved. One doctor cannot "get the wrong patient" all by him/herself. It takes a 5 people team fuck up for that to happen.
Yeah my point was more that the JHU estimates are purposely a lower bound. E.g. they are using only data from hospitals, even though most procedures are happen in outpatient or nursing home settings. So whatever the real number of accidental injuries and deaths from sleep deprivation, you can't get it as just a percentage of the JHU estimate.
