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.

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.

I don’t know the details of this specific instance. But as a medical registrar accepting GP (and A&E) referrals for adults, often there is no diagnosis, even presumed - the referrer doesn’t have the diagnostics available. Also referral usually by phone so not documented.

Given his familiarity and closeness to the matter, I expect he would've just said that if it were the case. It would be in his interests to do so after all.

I am sure is not in his interests. Knowing what I do about standing up for what is right & just his personal & his family’s interests would be best served by staying quiet. He will have suffered, aged & maybe sidelined by colleagues for making such a brave stand

Seems to me most of his clinical colleagues are supportive of BG, so I'm not sure which ones were/are sidelining him or why? But he's openly defending BG, so any fact which supports her position in turn reinforces his own support of her. Too close to consider objective I'm afraid
