"I am not a criminal", says Hadiza #BawaGarba on @BBCPanorama.
But that's not what the court records show, so is this yet another error of judgement? Doesn't bode well...

I worked in the NHS from 1979 to 2017. I know exactly how senior managers protect themselves and throw staff to the wolves. Few staff speak up for fear of reprisal (they see what happened to those who do). What you see is not the truth.
-
I know very well that what the NHS shows us publicly is not the truth. Read my letter and you'll see I touch on the subject. Or read this HSJ article and understand that I've also lived through it too. But this was a court of law, not the NHS.https://twitter.com/shaunlintern/status/600735704101031936?s=21 …

I have a law degree as well as my medical degree and was the Chair of the hospital Consent Comittee so am aware of all the issues surrounding these subjects too.
-
Sorry - had to do my regular chores for my mum, (the subject of that last article). You have a law degree but don't recognise the decision of the courts as valid reason to describe someone as a criminal? I don't understand...
-
Why does having a law degree mean that you always trust the legal system? A patient dies in hospital - someone MUST be to blame? Is that your opinion?
@VenthanMailoo points out perhaps a jury who don’t understand the mitigating factors isn’t best placed to decide who IS to blame. -
So you don't trust the legal system and you don't trust a jury? Why did you bother doing a law degree in the first place? And no, nobody HAS to be to blame, but when evidence leads to someone being convicted by a court of law, then blame tends to go along with it.

Many things went wrong in that hospital and on that day. We’ve had this conversation before. Dr BawaGarba was made the scapegoat to take the entire blame for a child’s death. That’s not fair.

Actually, there we agree. I don't for one second think she was the only one to blame. I believe others have as yet escaped accountability & no, that's not fair. But a coroner, the police & the CPS have no reason to scapegoat a junior doctor to my knowledge. Much less the jury.
