Communication and Teamwork is as important as individual expertise, especially in medical field.
It is highly effective for all team members (Senior surgeon, anesthesiologist, scrub nurse, circulating nurse, resident surgeon) talk with one another about the case and roles at least for a minute before starting surgery. It improved coordination and reduces errors. This effective measure is called "Verbal checklist".

An intriguing chapter on why Checklist matters by showing 3 examples :
1. Boeing Model 299 - Pilot forgot to release new locking mechanism led to crash and death.
2. Central line infections checklist led to saving million dollars and lives of patients in ICU from infection.
3. A kid saved from drowning with proper preparation (Rescue squad, hospital telephone operator, cardiac bypass ready by)
