Simon Judd: Barrister says baby blood case could have been a slippery slope if patients could pick and choose the services they receive

A barrister says there was potential for a dangerous precedent, had the judge ruled in favour of the parents of a six-month-old who needs heart surgery. Doctors at Starship Hospital have been granted medical responsibility of the baby until the surgery is complete, and he recovers. His parents won't let doctors use donations from the Blood Service for the surgery - over claims it's all tainted by the Covid vaccine. Barrister Simon Judd told Tim Dower there could be a slippery slope if individual patients could pick and choose the services they receive, or control how a treatment is delivered. He says you could imagine the administrative difficulties and time all of that would take. LISTEN ABOVE  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
