I can not think of a single good reason to avoid check-lists in the medical field. And the doctors who resist them may very well just be arrogant and elitist. But there may also be some other reason. I don't know because I'm not a doctor, but I do know there are always things I don't know to consider in unfamiliar fields.
Do we have any doctors on the board who could explain a defensible resistance on the part of doctors to using checklists?
