Another two faced eg

Then there's this paper he co-authored too, in which he analyses the cost. I always knew it was about the cost. Money means so much more to the government then anyones life. http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0145213412001901 Friedman, J., Reed, P., Sharplin, P., & Kelly, P. (2012). Primary prevention of pediatric abusive head trauma: a cost audit and cost-utility analysis. Child abuse & neglect, 36 (11-12), 760-770 A GCS of 8 or less is defined as “severe,” likely to require lifelong personal support. Nine or more is defined as “moderate,” if “long term support needs” are evident 6 months later. ACC states “some flexibility is required when considering children, especially those aged three and younger. This is because it can be difficult to determine GCS and PTA [post-traumatic amnesia] accurately at these ages,” and “cerebral palsy” from childhood brain damage is “an exception, and should be profiled” (Accident Compensation Corporation, 2009). Dr K crown specialist pediatrician, measured Melissa's responsiveness, GSC whilst she was sedated, on paralytics and hypothermic. Melissa's parents were told that Melissa would be paralyzed down one side and her other leg paralyzed as well and that she would not be able to talk, be blind in one eye, etc in order that they would minimize the cost to taxpayers. But there is no certainties with brain injury, only much uncertainty, especially of children, who have much greater capacity to heal then Dr K would ever admit.
