A five-part series investigating what medical negligence is and what happens when patients believe they are victims of doctors' mistakes.
2: A Random Sort of Justice. Alan is 12, but has the mental age of a 6-month-old baby. He is unable to walk, talk or feed himself. While his mother, Patricia [text removed] , is convinced that Alan's brain damage is the fault of the doctor who attended his birth, the legal system judged that the doctor was not to blame. When the courts test allegations of medical negligence, someone has to be at fault before the law can award financial help - no matter how great the need. Narrated by Helena Kennedy.
