I thought while you all are talking about us, doctors, i may as well jump in!
I can tell from my experience in this profession as you have very rightly mentioned that finally what happens, whether life saved or lost, lies in the hands of Lord the Supreme; 
there are times when inspite of highest technologies our hands are tied up and on other occasions miracles can happen out of nowhere and life is saved.
We do have case discussion in clinical meetings when something goes wrong and its amazing to find out how a chain of events had occured to lead to certain outcome.
Usually its not just one incidence which happens in a case, things just work in a manner e.g. failure of an equipment suddenly, human error combined incidently in the same chain of events although later or before, poor response on the part of patient, somebody absent already for some pre-existing reason, unexpected allergic reaction ; and when everything is looked at  retrospectively, one feels as if something was due to happen and events occured to lead to that accident.

Although aim is to learn from mistakes and take into account things which were preventable and can be avoided in future as a part of "clinical governance", but one cannot avoid concluding at the same time that there is a Hand behind every event for the final result, whether good or bad, and we as slaves to His Highness should be praying to Him persistently to have the best results while we try our best, with His will.

Just like you check the fuel and oil in your car, condition of tyres, and make sure its in best condition to run on motorway, but then you pray for a safe journey as even the 0 mileage vehicle can breakdown any time, anywhere!
