GALVEZ CABRERA, Elisa; GALVEZ CABRERA, Marta; SANTIESTEBAN DIAZ, Marisel and MORALES PONCE, Leonel. Criterio profesional acerca del error médico. Rev Cubana Med Gen Integr [online]. 1998, vol.14, n.1, pp.32-37. ISSN 0864-2125.

Other interesting conclusions derived from the analysis of the results are offered
