In summarising Mr Findlays evidence on this issue, the learned judge said: The defendant, who had conducted the examinations, was the best and only person able to make a realistic assessment of the nature of the pain and its cause.He endorsed the defendants logic in thinking that the pain might have been due to a nerve root compression brought about by the altered alignment of the vertebrae at the L 4/5 level; the possibility that there might be an unresolved nerve root compression was potentially too damaging to leave and in consequence the defendant had no alternative but to explore it by an operation., Mr Webbs evidence reflected this basic position too. He went on to find that the first defendants decision to operate on the plaintiff was a decision of which a responsible body of medical opinion would have approved.
