I think the only immense pressure comes from inside to make administration feel better. Unfortunately, it doesn't improve liability, and it causes more problems with staff feeling like they can't report errors without the risk of firing. It's a knee jerk reaction. As to 33girl's comments about the death of a child versus an adult, I couldn't agree with her more. This attitude is perpetuated by the pediatric caregivers, as well. No person's life is more valuable than another's...no matter the age.
