Abstract
Resident uncertainty results in delays of indicated care and, in some cases, patient harm. Despite the presence of a supervisory figure, residents adhere to a hierarchy when seeking advice in clinical matters.

Medical staff reported that error is important but difficult to discuss and not handled well in their hospital and barriers to discussing error are more important since medical staff seem to deny the effect of stress and fatigue on performance.
