BTW, another example I was advised of earlier today – friend of mine fell down some stairs and was taken to the Canberra Hospital ED. After several hours waiting he was told to go, home take some painkillers and exercise his shoulder to get rid of the bruising. Subsequent medical advice was broken shoulder – and a rather complicated rebuilding of the shoulder. No X-rays taken by the hospital. Guess who is on the list of potential people to sue over this incident?
