So easy to say when you have never been there , had to make decisions under extreme pressure when I qualified I worked on average 100 hrs a week I had great bosses but there but for the grace of God. One mistake when one is tired and my mate crashed into a lorry way home .

The law has a great many failings. Convicting
#BawaGarba is one of them. She was barely guilty of tort negligence, so how this became manslaughter is beyond comprehension. Reform desperately needed to define gross negligence manslaughter.4 replies 1 retweet 3 likes -

You presumably offer that legal opinion based upon your comprehensive study of the original Crown Court trial transcript? (Can we all see it?) Or perhaps you attended the trial in person? Although Nicky Adcock obviously didn't notice you there if so...https://twitter.com/C7RKY/status/1022815652002885632 …

My memory is that we were actively discouraged from attending (unlike the nursing team who made sure there was someone there everyday). Also wouldn’t have been possible to take 4 weeks away from floor

I think my concern is people expressing such firm views as if fact, when none outside the case have access to the whole picture. They actively discouraged you from attending? Wonder why? My money would be on them not wanting the consultant's testimony scrutinising by colleagues.

It just feels like the whole focus is wrong: I can’t see that anything changes as a result of this whole tragedy. Don’t think it would stop similar happening again.

Agreed. For one thing I think glaring cover up of the consultant's culpability has confused matters, but also there are 2 broader & competing agendas circling this case: Pts want a means to hold doctors to account and doctors don't want that to happen. Jack's too easily forgotten

Jack is not forgotten. His legacy should be a safer nhs in which someone like him has a chance to live. Sadly, focussing on one doctor means a scapegoat has been found and no further changes are needed, so another Jack will die.

Yes, the legacy of every such death should be reduced risk for patients that follow. But it rarely is, as learning is commonly lost because of the huge prevalence of NHS cover ups. This
#learnnotblame mantra quite frankly has no credibility when clinicians constantly avoid both.1 reply 2 retweets 3 likes -

There is really no system in place like CEPOD or the Maternal Deaths Inquiry for general medicine and one is required

I wouldn't disagree, but whatever is put in place, it still requires honest input to produce meaningful learning. To be clear, I don't blame clinicians for honest (non grossly negligent) clinical errors - we're all human. But the moment candour turns to cover up, I blame heavily.
