It is difficult to imagine a more stressful work environment than a hospital’s emergency room. There are many people coming with all kinds of medical and psychological problems, all of whom need attention right away. Emergency room staff can feel pressured to diagnose, treat, and move on to the next patient as quickly as possible.
It is easy to see how this kind of situation can foster grave medical errors. Hospital employees are aware of this risk, and are expected to take steps to minimize it.
