It is inevitable that, being who I am, this blog will contain a fair bit of comment on legal matters, including those cases which come before me in court. However, it is not restricted to such and may at times stray ‘off-topic’ and into whatever area interests me at the time.

All comments are moderated but sensible and relevant ones, even critical ones, are welcome; trolling and abuse is not and will be blocked.

Any actual case that I have been involved in, and upon which I may comment, will be altered in such a way as to make it completely unidentifiable.

God and the Medical Profession

A teenage cancer sufferer is told by doctors at a Nottingham hospital that her cancer is in remission. Feeling ill she looks up her symptoms on the Internet, on an American government endorsed web site no less, but instead of having her fears and concerns taken seriously she is told to 'stop Googling your symptoms', and sent home to die.

I'm sure the girl's parents will be much comforted to know that, in the words of the Trust's Medical Director, Stephen Fowlie, 'the Trust's communication with the family fell short'.

At least David Cameron only thinks he's God, the doctors of the Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust know they are.
