I don't think I have seen a better explanation of what a doctor does. Entirely on point, and to be honest, it makes me even more grateful people are willing to pick up the role to debug us, humans.

Fact is that it is impossible not to make mistakes, whatever it may be we set out to do. And the world as we know it is built by mistakes and takeaways from them. Without error, we would still be playing it safe in caves with flint fire.

We have to mention that, the level of responsibility is vastly higher with doctors than that of a software developer, or any other profession, really.
