Yes, the direct cause of medical accidents is usually the actor. Actors usually refer to medical personnel and managers of medical institutions. Their behavior directly affects the medical process and results, so their misconduct or mistakes are one of the main causes of medical accidents.
For example, doctors' improper operation during the operation or nurses' mistakes in giving drugs to patients may lead to medical accidents. In addition, if the managers of medical institutions fail to supervise the medical process or maintain medical equipment improperly, it may also lead to medical accidents.
To sum up, the actor is one of the direct causes of medical accidents. Therefore, medical institutions should strengthen the training and management of medical staff and managers, improve their professionalism and sense of responsibility, and thus reduce the occurrence of medical accidents.
