I didn't say that the surgeon wasn't responsible for improving their systems. It's clear that parental forgetfulness must be taken as a given, even when information is provided and there is a need for the clinics to improve their systems to take account of this. It's quite normal in the medical world and elsewhere for systems to continuously undergo improvement after information is provided via the feedback loop.
