Dr Tony Smith has had first hand experience treating patients with meningococcal disease and meningitis in intensive care units at North Shore Hospital and Auckland City Hospital. He has been profoundly influenced by this devastating disease and describes it as one of the most difficult to diagnose and as 'every clinician's worst nightmare'. A truly tragic disease, it can take a healthy normal human being and kill them quickly. Dr Smith talks in detail about the treatment of patients, outcomes, and the development of guidelines for pre-hospital management.
