Should any profession demand unquestioning respect? https://twitter.com/mancunianmedic/status/939203856575205376 …

Er, not true. We’ve been provoked from the moment there was a criminal investigation. Timing and social media are what you see.
-
Yes, it is what I see, of course. But I've been following the medical world's conversation for a while now - and I still regard the timing of this reaction as strange.https://twitter.com/c7rky/status/957372237727830017 …

6 years ago, the surrounding environment was different, the rules of engagement were different. Even now, there are people who say ‘It’s OK to be convicted, so long as the conviction doesn’t really mean anything.’ But the conviction must mean something.
-
Hence the seismic shift. The pressure has built up on these fault lines to the point where it became intolerable, for doctors and families and regulators. The willingness and the means to cover things up are both exhausted.
-
It’s no longer good enough to sacrifice a junior practitioner or two. Nor will families tolerate a lack of transparency. And enough practitioners want the truth to come out that it’s increasingly difficult to stop.
-
And so here we are. Having exhausted every other alternative, we have no choice but to tackle the problems head on.
-
I'm not going to make a vulgar attempt to add anything here. So I'll just say yes... that. All that.

Thanks :) As a person with PTSD, I am not morally superior to anyone who avoids their problems as best they can. But once you learn how to face the horrifying truths, to defeat the elephants in the room, life gets a lot better.

When we first heard that there was to be no trial, and an internal investigation, we felt awful for the Adcocks- while hoping that the investigation would find the systemic flaws and improve things. Then comes the criminal case.
-
Criminal cases are what happen when every other avenue has failed to yield the truth for families, imho. I too am on that list of people trying to prosecute. I'll be honest; until somebody grasps the nettle and properly addresses the lies & cover ups, I expect we'll see more.
-
I agree, it is the way legitimate concerns are addressed or rather not addressed which leads to litigation both civil and criminal.
-
What else are we left with? I didn't feel I had any choice, once the cover up became so outrageously blatant.
-
Understandable. And I am sorry for what happened to you.

The distance between what happened in that case, and what we are hearing about with
#BawaGarba, is massive. I think we all just need to see the transcripts now. Then we can all learn, and put this to bed. -
On that, we are in agreement. I'm growing tired of people drawing conclusions without anyone having the full facts to hand.https://twitter.com/c7rky/status/958110801482706945 …

I have known about this incident vicariously since 2011, as Hadiza is an acquaintance. All of us in the network heard about it, were horrified, and though “my God it could have been me”. In 2011.

I went to Southampton university, as did Hadiza. We were no strangers to medical negligence- this case happened around the time of our medical finals http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/hampshire/4900080.stm …

Fuckloads of children drowning in Mediterranean but was one photo of drowned little boy that provoked outrage. You'll notice how quickly interest disappeared too...
