I wonder how doable it is to make medicine more like aviation?
Medicine is for a large part trial and error (try this medicine and come and in one week to see if it helped), under high time pressure (general practitioners in the netherlands have 10 minutes to see a patient, including reading up on previous visits, and following up with hospital research results, etc).
Even if you'd try to determine learnings from every error, and put these in protocols to instruct healthcare people to avoid same mistakes next time, would they be able to effectively use this knowledge within the 10 minutes allocated?
