One thinks particularly of anaesthetists, orthopaedic surgeons, accident and emergency specialists and neurosurgeons.
Would a neurosurgeon write a report based on such evidence?
A fourth consultant neurosurgeon has been appointed and there is the possibility that a fifth will be appointed.
Those specialists include orthopaedic surgeons, rheumatologists, cardiologists, vascular surgeons, neurosurgeons, dermatologists and clinical geneticists.
That is an absolutely incredible and contemptuous statement, which is highly insulting to the neurosurgeon who wrote the medical report.
He started his career as a neurosurgeon.
During the workshop discussions, it was clear that such requirements are unnecessarily strict, given the difficulties in finding and calling upon an available neurosurgeon for such tasks.
Increasingly, neurosurgeons are also recognizing the limitations of dedicated intracranial stereotactic tools and embracing the opportunities offered by more versatile wholebody machines to broaden their treatment offering.
