Dr Cusack is a hero, in my opinion

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.

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

Dear Gordon, I respect you and John. My sincere request is to agree to disagree. Let us wait for the Court verdict. When two nice people argue it means truth is somewhere in the middle. What is done is done. Now let us focus on future. Future is all about learning lessons

Gordon and I have been known to argue in the past Umesh, (although I can honestly only think of 1 actual example over the many years we've been talking). This is just debate. Important debate, but just debate. :)

Dear John I know both of you and respect you both a lot. Debate is what makes us all learn and improve but when you two are poles apart truth is in the middle. Best of luck. I just want justice for anyone harmed due to 'Medical error and more so want to prevent these tragedies
