Question

And these are the - they don't know what's about to go wrong with Robert - but their job is to manage whatever happens next.
Few doctors would ever admit to making a mistake. But between 12 and 18 thousand Australians die in hospital each year. Robert still needs intubation - the difficult procedure of inserting a tube into his throat to assist breathing

Few doctors would ever admit to making a mistake. It means " Most of doctors would never admit to making a mistake" "few" has a negative meaning, and when "admit" means "To make acknowledgment", it's an intransitive verb, so "to" is needed. Just my 2 cents

Hello Behnazz

Just a small tip – if you put a keyword in your Subject box, it will make it much easier to find your posts in future via the "Search" facility. (It also helps us to remember if we've looked at a post or not.)

For instance, in this case, you could call it "Few Doctors".

All the best
