What Are You Going to Conquer with the Spear?
نویسنده
چکیده
Almost everyone in China knows this story, even elementary school pupils: Once upon a time, there was a weapon salesman claiming with confidence to one crowd that all his spears were capable of piercing every shield that existed in the world, then he turned around and told the other crowd mysteriously that all his shields were not penetrable. A bystander who heard both claims asked him, “How about stabbing your shields with your spears?” It was indeed an unexpected question that made the eloquent salesman mute right on the spot. Since then, the Chinese people have called contradiction as ”mao-dun”, which literally means “the spear (pronounced as “mao”) and shield (pronounced as “dun”)”.

Mannion and Braithwaite outline a new paradigm for studying and improving patient safety – Safety II.
