Glad you raised that one. I barely got started reading the interview and I already have questions. For example, can you steer me towards the NICE clinical guidelines for 'ill'? I seem to be struggling to find them.

I am pretty sure NICE do not have guidance on The Ill Patient I composed a

My query was tongue-in-cheek. We both know no such guidelines exist, but perhaps someone should tell that to Dr Cusack, because he pointedly fails to answer the very first meaningful question put to him - twice. And now it's a question to which I want to know the answer. >>

Q What was the GP's presumptive diagnosis? A The Adcock's took Jack to his GP who instantly recognised he was *ILL* Q What was his diagnosis? Did the GP suspect sepsis? A He recognised Jack was *ILL* No recognisable presumed diagnosis in there I can see. Just ill, apparently >>

He's avoiding the question. Being ill is not a diagnosis I can easily imagine a competent GP quoting as reason for referral to CAU. So what's he avoiding? I find myself wanting to see that referral now.

A Diagnosis is something that evolves over time - sometimes quickly coming into sharp focus, sometimes slowly emerging from the mists, and sometimes only ever made in retrospect The relation between GP’s referral letter & final diagnosis is not strong - if only it was that easy

In this case, I think the link between GP referral and cause of death may be the more significant factor. Let's see. And how did Dr Cusack get access to the autopsy report btw? Bit confused by that reference in the interview.
