But being practical, how many cases are there as a percentage of total patient admissions across the country during eg a year? I can’t believe that most clinicians are lying unethical people. I’ve only come across one or two in my whole career and I’ve been around a lot. >>

I’m not of course saying that lying etc is totally unacceptable, it can only ultimately lead to bad outcomes for all parties.

Last point first: I'm not sure you can judge the outcome from lying, in isolation from telling the truth re clinicians. Yes, the outcome from lying may be bad if discovered (unlikely) but the outcome from being caught telling the truth (guaranteed) can be much worse. All relative

I don’t know. Facts are usually fuzzy as everyone has their own personal version of the truth (speaking from a philosophical perspective)

See... that's what happens when you go out buying big books to read over your Christmas break. You start getting all philosophical on my ass!

Im already converted on that one actually. In the NLP arena they talk about everyone having their own, unique 'map of the world'. Unique because of their own personal influences & life experiences. Still.. some facts are just facts. :)

Only when they’re very clearly black or white. People disagree about the particular shade of grey, even if they all saw it.

True. I like numbers best. Maths is like gravity - won't negotiate.

Yes. You can if you wish manipulate how you present statistics to show what you want to a significant degree
