...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!
I'm also a fan of the NHS, but also try to recognize where it (like any organisation) fails.
Very courageous, and incredible initiative by the doc! (I can imagine a number of docs thinking about how they could do it, but this guy actually made it happen.)
Fan when we can take care of medical questions quickly and efficiently (yes, it _can_ happen with the NHS), but also critical of some poor experiences we've had.

Are you both a fan and patient of the NHS?
