He adhered to accepted standards of practice, and therefore cannot be held responsible for factors not under his control. However, it is under his control to insure that the patient is vaccinated prior to surgery.

Do you also believe that all professionals who work with deaf children regardless of whether the child has a CI or not should also do the same? We've already had a discussion on how compared to the hearing population, deaf children are at greater risk of contracting meningitis. I'm just wondering if your view is across the board?
It would be quite difficult at this stage to work out what the additional risk for a child with a CI is compared to another deaf child of the same etiology who was not implanted.
