Peter Makai
External Advisor, PhD Student
"In a myriad of situations, - and in medical care as well - safety and danger are hopelessly intervened. Benefit and harm from medical care have been intervened since the beginning of medicine. The advancement of medicine in the 20th century has made professionals and public overconfident that medical care is only beneficial – forgetting about the harm. They have been proved wrong, thus making it necessary to deal with the mitigation of harms, and this is patient safety."
