About
Khaled Sakhel is a researcher whose work bridges the often-overlooked intersection of clinical medicine and human error, with a particular focus on surgical safety and radiological anomalies. His most cited paper, "To forget is human: the case of the retained bulb" (2009), has garnered 5 citations, highlighting a critical yet understudied area of medical practice: the retention of foreign objects after surgery. This contribution underscores Sakhel’s commitment to patient safety and the cognitive factors that lead to preventable errors. While his citation count is modest, the work’s impact lies in its provocative title and its call to reframe surgical mistakes as human rather than systemic failures, a perspective that resonates with practitioners and educators. Sakhel’s research encourages a deeper dialogue on accountability and memory in high-stakes environments, making his work a valuable resource for those studying error prevention and the human factors in medicine. His scholarship serves as a reminder that even small studies can spark essential conversations about improving clinical outcomes.
