Niggling thought of the day:
Why are doctors saying that this week GMC made patients less safe?
Why were patients still safe when #BawaGarba got convicted of gross negligent manslaughter, but we're not now she's been struck off?
Does loss of career hold more fear than conviction?

Please do not go by conviction. Not in this case but I know 3 cases of miscarraige of justice. So I read everything before I give my opinion. My reputation matters to me and so is my integrity.

I know of more miscarriages of justice than I can count, so I understand that. But we either give weight to a serious conviction or we don't. What needs focus here is the legal representation and why system issues (plus the consultant & employers) were sidelined.

Not when you destroy some good human being. No No No. 27 doctors have committed suicide! Think of their family! Please
-
I think of all the many families who have been destroyed by the actions/inaction of the NHS & regulators. Including those 27 doctors. But ignoring court decisions seems wrong. Much needs to be examined about this case and it may not mean the verdict is wrong.
-
If you present wrong evidence juries get confused and emotion plays a part. So it is important how you present the case. Not in this case
-
What wrong evidence is that, Umesh? Not sure which parts of that tweet relate to the specific case and which are generic comment. I can see an argument that evidence of other failures may have gone unheard here, but have you also noticed something that was incorrect?

I think here the GMC was stuck between a rock and a hard place. Ignoring the conduct of the original court judgement, could the public accept a doctor convicted of gross negligence manslaughter? Would any hospital appoint. There would be outrage, either way.
-
Maybe it's just me, but gross negligent manslaughter seems such a serious charge, especially when directly associated with one's day to day work, that I don't see how GMC could ignore the risk to public confidence. I'm not convinced they deserve the outrage. Elsewhere, maybe.

I have never said that. Junior sexually molests a
#patient should be dismissed and erased. It is horses for the courses and all doctors and all staff must be treated same and fairness and proportionality. This doesnt happenThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
