"I don't think she will ever learn from her lesson" - Nicky Adcock, Jack Adcock's mum, on Dr Hadiza Bawa-Garba's appeal against being struck off medical register after the six-year-old's death. Read the full story here: https://trib.al/OzCzRvz pic.twitter.com/4l8NZKhDqK

Thank you - much appreciated. But I'm afraid that's the High Court appeal, rather than the original Crown Court trial. Is the other link you we're thinking of also for the appeal?
-
No I think it was for the original trial John. I remember being shocked at what I was reading, it covered the enalapril being given and the fact that Jack was haemorrhaging into his lungs. Will have another look.

That ruling is from the GMC case. The criminal court transcript has never been published. The SI report is somewhere on the internet, last saw it published by

Thanks Kate. On reflection I can’t remember exactly what it was I read but it certainly provided much more medical detail than I had read before. I remember being very shocked at the amount of failings in Jacks care.

For a number of doctors to be defending her actions, has me thinking that the is generally the level of acceptable practice & care. Why else would they be screaming "it could be me next"? We accept it as service users or die.

If the doctors tweeting
#iamhadiza truly believe they’d have acted the same, we are stuffed. -
Hospital medicine in the current climate is chaotic. Over that last winter period any clinical worker, and their patients, could have been in a similar situation. Where is the focus on improving this climate rather than metering out unfair justice?

No non-lawyer, not even Mrs Adcock, (unless they have a bucketload of £) has access to court transcripts. The legal arguments are interesting https://www.timjohnson-law.com/bawa-garba as are what evidence was and was not used, likewise for expert witness statements that were not used.

Good to know it’s not actually forthcoming as previously stated! Was hoping to read the ‘why’ Dr BG was found to be ‘truly exceptionally bad’ but I guess we will never know.
-
It's not? Why not? That seemed to be broadly agreed before I took my Twitter break. I don't see how this campaign can be seen as anything other than blind support without it, frankly. Who know's what's unwittingly being defended here without that transcript?
-
I think the short answer is, it simply doesn't matter. Evidence based approaches are speedily punted off the nearest bridges when (some) medics feel exposed.
-
Like Nicola Adock said this week, where were all these medics when BawaGarba was on trial for 5 weeks? Such a self-serving response it makes my teeth ache.
-
There may be reason for some not attending, to be fair. But any of us not in attendance during those weeks can't claim to know all the facts, whatever the reason.https://twitter.com/gourmetpenguin/status/1022962707975294976?s=21 …

It wasn't just about attendance though. No outcry (or apparent interest) when the GNM charge was given. Just tumbleweed until erasure.

There was locally.
