You're oversimplifying this. So I'm not a doctor, but close enough to this system. First, you've definitely got professions/situations where checking is done. See flight and surgery checklists. Of course there will be mistakes and we'll never reach 100% compliance, but that's a given.
But then, there are secondary effects like how much time will your doctor have and how ready they are. In practice the notes take time. If you're unlucky, you're going to be late, on a busy day, and your notes will be done many hours later from recollection. In that case, even an imperfect system can increase the overall quality if it enables faster turnaround. I know of cases where the automatic notes generation did catch issues which the doctor simply forgot about.
The individual stories are brutal, but overall they say very little - was that the only mistake that doctor made in their life, or are they making 10 a day? In general we have to accept mistakes happen and build a system that catches them or minimises the impact.
