    My daughter, who has bipolar disorder, received her diagnosis at the very end of a 90-minute psychiatrist consultation. After spending the entire session observing her as if she were a rare specimen, the psychiatrist pronounced her ‘bipolar’, as casually as if he were giving her a driving test result. He then quickly added: “But more interestingly is the fact that your entire body twitches and jerks constantly; I think you may have Tourette’s or some other underlying neurological issue.” He told us he would not treat the symptoms of the bipolar disorder (we had arrived at

In 2020, The Healthcare Safety Investigation Branch published an investigation into delayed recognition of acute aortic dissection, which also made safety recommendations.
