Rendering a dangerous healthcare ocean safer

Chris Bateman

Abstract


Take a tidal wave of patients, a trickle of specialists and a small shoal of medical students eager to palpate, probe and prick (at the very least), and mix them together in the public sector sea for several consecutive years. No CPD points for guessing the range of adverse events that can follow, and inevitably will.
