Ok. In our heads we have to get round the fact that a Dr can be convicted fro gross negligence whilst still being competent particularly if there were system issues which let them down and where their actions were not due to arrogance or maliciousness. The public's mindset is ..

This was my immediate reaction when I first learned of his involvement in January. I've no doubt she should not have been answerable alone, but I still don't accept it automatically follows that she herself is innocent as a result of that cover up.https://twitter.com/c7rky/status/956892985190383616?s=21 …
