Also agree with this. I think where we disagree is the term "fucking up".

A doctor that removes the wrong kidney has "fucked up".

A doctor, nurse responsible for a number of patients (probably too many), on a busy holiday that "missed" that a patients sodium levels were rising too quickly, did NOT fuck up (in my opinion). They missed something as human beings do. And the fact that there was a horrific outcome, doesn't change that.
