JUST IN CASE

An ex-colleague of mine, who is now a physician in Miri Hospital, was referred a case from the Orthopaedic Ward. The patient, a very frail 80 year old lady, was admitted for a hip fracture. My friend was amused & irate at the same time as the reason for referral was “in case the patient dies of unknown medical cause”.
