Raw Deal

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

A five-part series investigating what medical negligence is and what happens when patients believe they are victims of doctor's mistakes.
4: The American Way. 'We in Britain are going down the same road as America - and it will be a disaster for patients as well as doctors.'
In the USA, a mother-to-be has a one-in-four chance of her baby being delivered by caesarean section. It is that common because doctors fear being sued and, in many cases operate 'just to be on the safe side'. Legal actions against doctors have increased to the point that many are now ceasing to practise. Is the same thing about to happen here in Britain? Series producer John Groom
