"These cases are incredibly difficult. With a rational legal view, I have to question what can be offered in Italy or the US for severe traumatic brain injury. As a parent it is hard to say you would not look for any hope of a better outcome stewarts.smh.re/D1

It would be interesting to see if the stats support that. GP friends have a perception they are at high risk of being sued even though the claim volumes are falling as against care delivered. The current GP workloads are not sustainable. stewarts.smh.re/DH
