Re: Re: Who Wants The Sack?

1) I have no idea. That wasn't the point though as I'm just pointing out how easy it is to get into trouble in the job. 2) The assessment of the pupils was (according to sources) done using the bedroom light. GCS drops before pupil response alters in almost all cases. That the HPC mentions that the pain score wasn't recorded seems a little like clutching at straws - if a BP wasn't recorded then surely that would be noted? (Admittedly the HPC report is kind of sketchy, more detail would be welcomed). 3) Walking them... Without being there it's difficult to say, I try to walk as many patients as I can because it is safer for me and them. In this case if the patient's GCS was 15/15 then why not walk? How many people with headache and vomiting do we go to, and how many do we carry? Without being able to see the future would it have been reasonable to expect the patient to collapse? Without being there, or without seeing the full evidence of the case we are just speculating. My point still stands - that the two previous 'check-ups' and the treatment at the hospital aren't mentioned as being investigated. It's all down to one man (and perhaps this is why, one man is easier to discipline than an entire GP surgery or other place where she went for a 'check-up').
