My blog post was inspired by Kami Huyse’s post “When a Typo is the Difference between Life and Death.” Kami discussed how a simple typo resulted in a young man being hospitalized with a bullet in his liver. I commented on her blog admitting that I really didn’t think about the serious ramifications of a typo outside of my field. In healthcare, law enforcement and many other industries a typo means more than just your image or reputation. It could be someone’s future or their life.
