...had to add somethng here as I am a big fan of the NHS. In an increasingly litigious profession, the doctor must've known the consequences had something gone wrong and acted in spite of those career threatening risks - shows true courage. I hope (although doubt) this helps to stop the practice of defensive medicine where lawyers' concerns take priority over patients' needs. Yeah, its a little off topic, but visting a hospital always puts my building a web-application into perspective!
