Hidden Brain · Making the Most of Your Mistakes · 3 Aug 2026 podcast

How could that possibly be, Amy?

Well, that was my question.

And I sat there.

I think I froze.

I was upset and I was scared.

And so I sat there looking at it.

And my first reaction was, I must have made a mistake.

I must have put the data in incorrectly.

So I walked very carefully through everything I'd done.

I redid it.

And nope, maybe my hypothesis had been a mistake, but I had not made a kind of data entry mistake.

And so there I was, staring at it again and again, puzzled.

This just can't be true.

It can't be that better teams with higher quality relationships, more able and willing to collaborate effectively, to coordinate clearly,

could have more, not fewer adverse drug events.

And I suddenly had a thought.

Maybe better teams don't make more mistakes.

Maybe they're more able and willing to report them.

And I suddenly remembered that I had inserted an extra question that wasn't in the original survey that is stated as follows.

If you make a mistake in this unit, it's held against you.
