I think I've had enough of reading the perspective of doctors on this #BawaGarba case for one day. Does anyone know if Jack Adock's parents' view on events has been published anywhere? Think I'd like to read what they have to say now.

I hesitate to speak for anyone else, let alone under such ghastly circumstances, but as the parents of a child who died, tragic Jack, I think it is totally understandable that they would want the doctor directly responsible to be unable to care for other patients.

2/2 This human & totally understandable wish is perhaps different to the most sensible response by
@gmc after#BawaGarba had already been sentenced in court & dealt with by tribunal which considered very complex challenges, institutional failings & pressures outside her control -
1/2 I think it depends hugely upon how matters are handled, as to how relatives feel about the clinicians involved in a patient's death. Have you ever seen this TedX talk? I'd highly recommend it if you have the time. We have a long way to go.https://youtu.be/qmaY9DEzBzI

2/2 But on the subject of system issues & staffing levels, yes, I think those should be considered as part of a doctor's defence. I feel like this has been avoided somehow and I'm no happier about it than clinicians are. Blame may (also?) lay elsewhere. Should be considered, imho
