I know Mr. Flanagan means well but it is not working. For example, I mentioned at a meeting some time ago medical misadventure that took place in a hospital setting. There was no blame on anybody at all, as these things happen. However, the fact of the matter is this: the time has come to deal with that kind of situation. The patient was not at fault. We can talk about it as long as we like, but unless there is an intervention on a humanitarian level in those circumstances, we are not doing our job.
