Medics acknowledge this in research and between themselves, but present a public face of Dr’s decisions being scientific & objective. Also research show disagreements between Drs as to right action, common place.

when you sit in court and defence that comes up time&time again is 'she was dying anyway' to a claim of non communication your faith in scientific evaluation in medicine goes out the window. We always thought she was written off because of cancer, nothing has changed that for me

‘She was dying anyway’ should never be the answer. The question should be BUT FOR the
#HCP’s action or inaction would the patient have died in this way, at this time? It is used to excuse appalling treatment & care of the most vulnerable patients.1 reply 6 retweets 12 likes -

We had criminal and civil cases. The criminal judge's thinking was that if anyone is responsible for reducing someone's life even by a minute they must be held to account. in this case that was the driver of the car who never deviated from taking responsibility for the accident

In stark contrast to the tone of debate on Twitter right now. It honestly feels like exceptionalism gone mad sometimes. But when criminal law starts being targeted with a view to bending it to suit the will of clinicians, I think we risk entering a dark phase.

I agree. I'm interested to see what the TOR are for this review, who will be asked for their opinion etc. I have the same panicky feeling I did at Mr Hunt's attempts at expanding the safe space from HSIB to the whole of the health service.

Every decent stakeholder will want this. I have learned not to trust Hunt from personal experience. What's he up to here? We need a social contract on this. Not a minority report.

If it is just an investigation by medics,involving medics it will do far more harm. Public confidence in medics will be completely undermined.

It will among those who understand the implications.

That's a very good point. I look back fondly to a time when ignorance of all this really was bliss. Unless you have a reason to look, you'd never know. Those patients who truly understand the implications of current events are relatively small in number, sadly.
