I'm currently in the process of reading the book “Outliers” by Malcolm Gladwell. In it, he looks at some examples of extraordinary human behaviour of one kind or another. Much of this is fascinating but there was one chapter really struck home whilst reading it. This was the chapter on plane crashes. Throughout my anaesthetic training it was fairly common to draw parallels between the aviation industry and anaesthesia. The analogy is not perfect, and sometimes overstated, but I think there are some interesting similarities. What struck me about this chapter is the centrality of human factors in these disasters.

Hello, and welcome to critical. This is the new home for a collection of all my different medical writings, bringing together a number of previous projects. Recently, looking at my educational and medical writing work I realised that it was scattered across a number of different websites. Whilst I enjoy doing these projects, I have found it very difficult to maintain momentum whilst they were so widely spread. I found myself moving from one to another, with some getting almost abandoned. As such I decided that it was probably best to consolidate them altogether in one single place - hence the project that we have here: critical.
