Various and human frailty


  • ·     Verena Vogeler tweeted this photo. Here's the story. Last week two men "escaped" the nursing home in rural Dithmarschen (Germany) to join 75,000 heavy metal fans at the 20th Wacken Open Air festival near Hamburg. Event promoters said, "You're never too old to rock." Nursing home managers panicked when they couldn't find them, and police escorted them back after two days of head banging. Looks like they weren't the only mature fans. #NewsYouNeed        
  • ·     In case you missed the announcement, Patrick Stewart will reprise the role of Jean-Luc Piccard in a new Star Trek series for CBS All Access. There are no scripts yet. EDITORIAL COMMENT: You can bet that CBS All Access is going to be added to the cable mix in nursing homes across the US soon. #NewsYouNeed

Today I want to talk about Human Error, and some avoidable errors that were costly. #NewsYouNeed #HumanFrailty
