Planes and bridges are problems where the quality control can be centralized and you can therefore put a lot of redundancy.
Even then, the Boeing scandal shows it's not bulletproof.
It's not the same for medicine. There are way more doctors than you can put safety nets. Also, when a plane crashes, it's on the news, it costs money and PR. Much less so with doctors.
The plane industry is not inherently more moral, just more liable. Responsibility in the health industry is way more diluted.
It's not that we WANT to pay the price of people learning. I wish I would not have had the wrong meds given to me last year.
It's just that the system is not currently set up to do it otherwise.
So you can feel guilty and stop moving, and you will not learn. You will not grow. And you will actually hurt people for a longer period because you will still make mistakes.
Or you can own it and accept the inevitable: doing things means having actual consequences on the world.
If you want, you can dedicate your life to change the whole system and make it better. But I don't think anybody in this thread is doing that right now.
I did see a lot of people on their high horses, but doing nothing though, paralyzed because they were looking for a way to never break anything.
Me, for example. For years.
