I have heard of Airbuses crashing because the controls
were poorly
designed. I've never heard of a 777 crashing. I've also never heard of any
medical machines failing, though this would tend to be underpublicized.

Airbusses crash because their ergonomics suck. The pilot gets no feedback
from the flight controls (IE the stick doesn't tell
their hands anything)
they're supposed to watch only this dinky little screen,
the controls to turn
off the autopilot are comingled with other controls, in general whoever
designed the cockpit should be taken out and shot.
