Have you seen this..? I was aware of most of this, from BMJ article, etc.. But not that BG was arrested 2 weeks after giving birth, held for police questioning away from breast-fed baby... That surprised me; I have a lot of confidence in police compassionhttp://54000doctors.org/blogs/an-account-by-concerned-uk-paediatric-consultants-of-the-tragic-events-surrounding-the-gmc-action-against-dr-bawa-garba.html …

I have. I've been heavily exposed to the clinician narrative on this case & from that it could be easy to feel sympathy for her. I'll reserve judgement until I've seen a transcript, but her treatment on arrest is utterly outrageous. The confidence you mention is not one I share.

It's very rare for the police to make an arrest in cases like these because there's no "immediate danger" to the public. I'm very surprised and wonder what else was driving this. Also, surprised that the press haven't mentioned much about the enalapril.

This is an odd case on so many levels. Very little about it follows the norms I've come to know. And I agree with you about the arrest. It can be hard enough to get police to register a crime report against a clinician, let alone have them arrested.

Closest local case was a child cancer specialist consultant who was convicted of pedophilia. Allegedly initiating data came from a Canadian computer crime investigation, it was low-key media reported; but it had a big impact on local hospital requiring chaperones for females etc.

Myles Bradbury? It was a wake up call for all NHS trusts re chaperones not just Addenbrookes. Also for parents of sick kids.

Yes. He commited the offences in the same room as chaperones w/ a recording pen, allegedly. He'd allegedly also been breaching rules. Resulting over-caution had huge negative impact on care for awhile; maybe why my pelvic mass missed by A&E, w/ proximal DVT (no one examined me!).

They shouldn't have not examined you because of chaperone issues. Awful.

That or the 4 hour target. For whatever reason, they missed a protruding asymmetrical >5 months pregnancy sized mass. Simply by failing to examine me in A&E readmitted for anticoagulation after Bupa diagnosed the proximal DVT w/out provoking injury found. It’s in NICE Guidelines!

Oh but Kate... to quote my favourite coroner "Guidelines are merely guidelines; doctors' discretion! "

Guidelines are legally unenforceable and lawyers only care about the law. Francis knew what he saw doing when he recommended an individual statutory duty of candour, even though a professional one already existed in guidelines, imho.
