Michael, an ex-doctor, felt the same way . So I got the job by default. I believe that you could investigate most specialties and find wide variations in results. Cleft lip or palate is usually caused by a failure of the fusion process of the lip, palate and mouth early on in the womb. Around 1 in 700 babies are born with the deformity and the surgery to correct it can either make or mar a child's life.
Biliary atresia is a rare condition that presents with jaundice in babies.
At best, this can completely obviate the need for a liver transplant or at least postpone it for many years. At worst, it subjects a very young baby to life threatening surgery for no benefit. The baby may die from liver failure or will require a liver transplant in the next year or so. And the evidence that specialists get much better results than surgeons who perform this complex surgery occasionally and without the support team has been apparent since 1984. This campaign ended with success in a relatively short space of time.
