I could not agree more. It's why dad's case was all about the communication, not the clinical decision making.

Also when you analyse in detail ‘clinical decisions’ as many researchers have, often very little clinical about them. Repeated studies have shown the characteristics of the doctor are more influential on outcome than the patient’s clinical situation.

that 'characteristics of the doctor' statement certainly hits home as does assessment of mum's clinical situation - the PM for mum highlighted an issue where the trust had been wrong that affected their thinking of mum's overall picture. Never investigated.

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.

ZHH We have opinions + voices too. Until Bristol did we know anything about how the NHS operated?

We know far too much about how the NHS really operates now Ken. That's in no small part what has led us to this point and they don't like it, imho. I'm very nervous about where this review might lead.

ZHH Don't worry, John; this will be a watershed, and it will be the safety of patients which shapes it, can't be otherwise
