High Court dismisses a plaintiff's claim that the defendants missed “red flag” incidents which, it was alleged, ought to have given rise to precautionary x-rays in respect of a hip dysplasia condition, finding that the decision reached by the defendant and his multi-disciplinary team would have been taken by a similar body of doctors acting with ordinary care in this field.
Medical negligence – whether there was a failure on the part of the defendants to properly or adequately monitor the plaintiff in the context of what is described as a “known risk” and a failure to respond to what are described as “red flag” incidents which, it is alleged, ought to have given rise to precautionary x-rays – hip dysplasia condition – decision reached by the defendant and his multi-disciplinary team would have been taken by a similar body of doctors acting with ordinary care in this field as it is quite clear from the evidence – plaintiff's claim dismissed.
