This case report has spent a long time in review because it has been a challenge to strike a balance in the conclusions between acknowledging the risk of a particular model of health care and how that risk compares with other models.

Telephone triage has clear advantages but the authors, with this illustrative case, question the associated risks and how they may be evaluated.<\/p>\n
