He seems unhappy, as I am, of the way social media can be used to name and shame I've worked decades for patients. I was named and shamed, on local radio, before social media existed, I was called "a killer". A lady mistook me for someone else but I have never had comeback.

Oh dear God! That's awful. I'm so sorry to hear that. Mistaken identity too? I don't even know what to say. I've only allowed publishers & their lawyers to state the name in our case so far. To be sure it could be justified. I guess not all news outlets have the same standards?!

Even when you're named in error, and podcast of show goes on local radio website, you've to suck it up and shut up or you're the evil doctor going after the grieving widow, who made the mistake, opening up her old wounds. Be VERY careful who you accuse on social media.

I would personally only ever accuse those I have absolute evidence against. Not sure what others do

I've been extremely careful tbh. Apart from where it appears in news articles, I don't think I've even mentioned the trust on twitter and definitely not the names involved. But it's not because defamation would concern me. Just affecting fair trial conditions.

That makes sense John. I have heard the whole defamation and harassment ones many times now. Accused of libel by Twitter a few days back. I just get on with my day to be honest.

Accused by Twitter themselves? Or by somebody on Twitter? I understand the only defence against defamation is being able to prove in court that what you have said is true? I would welcome the chance, frankly. But they're not daft enough to give me that chance.

No just by individuals. I don’t believe that you have to prove you are telling the truth, I think they have to prove you are not which in our case would be impossible for them to do hence they won’t take that route but like you would relish the court day

I'm no expert on the law tbh. Although I've picked up a fair bit about consent law along the way. I just stick to the truth and avoid using names unless/until I secure a conviction. Which I'm still working on. Figure I'm safe that way.

If I am honest in a criminal capacity I do not believe there ever will be convictions so therefore for me it is not about that.After Ben died the Doctors were invisible even those with sketchy pasts. We could not find anything about them. That will never be the same again

Really? Even with all the evidence you have to hand? Any particular reason?

Based on the response we received from the Police it is clear that they are being told information from someone else as what they have said is not true, has no evidence to support and sounds like what the hospital originally said.
