Of course views all mine. All without prejudice. Just a regular chap after all. Oh...and RT's may equally imply ridicule as endorsement.

    Had a v poorly little boy to look after for the last 4 days, (mercifully through the worst now). And next to worry for my son's wellbeing, do you know what the overriding feeling was? Fear. Fear of the medical profession getting their hands on my son. Are you proud of yourselves?

        As a clinician it saddens me to hear that, although sadly I do understand why. Personally I am ashamed.

        Thank you. I'm not perfect & always learning. I was involved in a serious incident review some years ago & was criticised. What I did learn was that honesty is always best & I'm so glad all involved were I wish I could do more. I'm blacklisted by parts of the #nhs unfortunately.

        Badge of honour, as far as I'm concerned. Significantly higher prevalence of honest clinicians on the blacklist than anywhere else, ime.

        I believe the vast majority of clinicians & managers are honest & well intentioned. Problem is the system & toxic hierarchies mean they can act ( inadvertently) as enablers for those who put reputation & power over accountability. Took me 30+ years to work this out.

        Hmm. Had to pause & think about this one, because although I'd like to believe it, it's not been reflected by reality so far. I'm afraid I flat out don't believe it re managers and I'm becoming increasingly unwilling to accept complicit silence as well intentioned or inadvertent.

        I understand your point of view. It's hard to offer any examples to support my view on managers, especially as many of the good mangers I had in mind have now left. I agree that complicit silence is never acceptable. #Gosport & Robbie Powell's case spring to mind @willcpowell

        Thank you. I'm so sorry about what happened. My daughter and others have experienced long term illness after receiving the HPV vaccine. In the process have learnt a lot about clinical trials and how medicines get to market.

        I've been following the story - I'm so sorry to hear your family is one of those affected. It's caused me to keep my eye on similar issues to yourself by the sounds of things.

        That's astonishing. And SO disappointing. I've always held Cochrane in high regard, but that's unforgivable. I can't see all the text; do they suggest inclusion of all the trials would affect the conclusions too? Wouldn't be a surprise, given past form:https://twitter.com/c7rky/status/958389335778381824?s=21 …
