>Engineers aren’t allowed “one small fuckup” when building bridges and buildings

Yes they are. When estimating the forces you need to handle you can round up. This means that if you made a small mistake it like won't matter since you planned to handle much more than necessary.

>in the OR or when calculating dosages

Dosages don't need to me exact. There are some tolerances and it's easy to imagine a system to eliminate most of human error from this process.

>Pilots aren’t allowed small fuckups when flying planes.

Sure they are. A mistake doesn't mean your plane will crash or fall out of the sky. Planes can already fly themselves.

>Why should we tolerate small fuckups and negligence that only serves a company's shareholders’ interests?

Because hindsight is 20/20.
