One of the key things seemed to be empowering the nurses to prompt the
doctors where necessary - they often knew the doctors were not
following the procedure but for various reasons didn't intervene. (In
fact I read it that they ended up with a 'checklist' nurse who checked
it all on a clipboard as the procedure was executed)
Yes, exactly.
The same occurs
on the flight deck - there have been accidents with commercial traffic
where the FO has realised something is wrong and either not told the
PIC or been overruled.
A famous such crash occurred near to me - the PapaIndia Trident
crash at Staines. Cause was overbearing P1 that was subtly
incapacitated by a heart attack; P1 overruled the P2 and the Trident
entered a deep stall.
