Or the doctor who takes over and won’t work with other members of a team because of an I’m always right and other professionals are wrong attitude. Can be road to disaster.

I must be the first person in the world who has ever been discharged as a Wilson’s disease carrier with KF rings (eye changes caused by copper) because a Cons was floating around mis-claiming to be the ‘expert here’ & would not agree with first 3 Ophthalmologists’ assessment.

Ophthalmologists’ opinion didn’t fit with his own incorrect opinion; so, he made it fit. Later denied it although it’s evidenced in writing in 2nd paragraph of his final clinic letter. Astounded he was allowed to deny it when it is in writing. Guess it happens. Good & bad in h/s

I don't know your story. I do know that my mistakes have tended to be trying to squeeze round pegs into square holes until something serious gave way or someone else spotted it and got involved. Gets more likely the more senior you become, and the consequences potentially bigger

He also misquoted experts as agreeing with him that WD carriers can have eye changes&18 mths after I was discharged from his clinic suggested in writing I didn’t need to see a Neurologist as recommended-this time misquoting recorded neuro signs as symptoms previously described.

Sorry to hear this - it has a familiar feel to it, sadly. There's obviously a good reason why we now have what looks like a second call for a statutory individual duty of candour from an inquiry, despite a professional & contractual duty already existing.https://twitter.com/c7rky/status/958705170845716481 …

I'll follow my MPs when they agree to observe one too and work out to legally introduce and enforce one for us both

Funny you should say that; a few years back
@willcpowell and I used to speculate that might be the reason it has been persistently resisted for doctors - in case somebody then decided it might be a good idea for MPs too. All the more reason to try from my seat, if so.2 replies 0 retweets 2 likes -

It's legally unenforceable. Proving who knew what and when. Read NI Hyponatraemia enquiry for an example of how after 14 years of investigation no one is still sure of exactly what happened in at least one of the cases

The 700 pg one I saw you'd spent days reading? Haven't quite found a window to squeeze that in yet, but I will. I do think it's enforceable, but requires far better medical record integrity to allow for objective investigation. And forgiveness for honest errors, candidly admitted
