I think what we all fail to realise most of the time
is that large chunks of what "we" do (people working
in the NHS) [sounds like "people living with AIDS"
or some such PC moniker] would be quickly torn to
pieces in a court of law. The change which *will*
occur over the next few years in the NHS and in the
way we practise medicine will take into account the
legal ramifications and will increase (beyond our
wildest dreams) the cost of medicine in this country.
You'll see.
