Say I'm a medical student and during an operation I notice unusual numbers on the screen. I don't even know what the numbers mean (hey I'm a student!) but they look freaking unusual. Should I tell Dr. God about these numbers ? Last time he told me to shut up because I could not support my concern.

There are hundreds of situations where you believe something is a mistake but can't give clear supportive arguments. I hope blaming young medical professionals for raising their concerns in these situations is not the norm.



Point taken, but I am not sure about this scenario. You can always ask "What do these numbers mean?" You might look stupid, but I'm pretty used to that by now.

The original parent referred to "obvious mistakes" made by physicians, which I don't think your scenario encompasses.
