The article stresses that all medical errors are not necessarily due to bad doctors. It's also bad coordination between different services, miscommunication, etc. Dr. Makary points out various process problems that are not necessarily the fault of any individual doctor.

It's still doctors. Doctors are responsible for coordination and miscommunication. They define the process, it's still on them.
