This Doctor was struck off in 1991, and yet it has taken 23 years to bring him to justice. If we can't trust Doctors, who can we trust ?

[Peter Pedant]

well he is an ex-Doctor actually
crimes such as his make him permanently unfit to practise

I am surprised others did not come forward at the first case in the early nineties. Perhaps they did...

It is indeed a shock to read of this

Our local hospital was rocked by

and that was bad ( and traumatic ) enough

[woofgang]

what is it about doctors that you think they should be more trustworthy than other people? Its like the "All nurses are angels" crap

[-Talbot-]

Mikey must have forgotten about Shipman.

In any profession you will find good and bad.

We can always of course trust the likes of our banks to get it right with our money too...can't we?

[Prudie]

Agree woof, no reason we should trust doctors any more than anyone else. There will always be bad apples in the barrel.

[Zacs-Master]

Judges....surely they're trustworthy......

Nope.

[Peter Pedant]

O blimey I had forgotten Shipman
another Northerner

as a DM reader such as AOG may wail - why oh why do Northern Doctors feel such abnormal impulses as the need to kill so many of their p atients


and it took more than 23 years to find out Shipman ....

are Northerners slow do you think ?

[-Talbot-]

O blimey I had forgotten Shipman
another Northerner


OMG.............you can't even trust Northerners? :0/

[Peter Pedant]

Thx Zacs for the ref

I was dimly being aware ( being from the North ) of the judge who was filling the prisons with less than guilty children ( and taking a back-hander)

Prison isn't exactly a character forming experience ( 75% never work again )

[Zacs-Master]

And that's the warders!

[Peter Pedant]

you know Talbo - I am not sure Northerners should be allowed o join the armed forces and handle things that go 'bang' - like fireworks and so on

[ o god and they speak funny ]

[andy-hughes]

There is a mind set among certain people that, given the circumstances, they feel they have a right to behave by ignoring the rules of law, humanity, and common sense that govern the rest of us.

If these people are introduced to a life that allows then to indulge these impulses, then they do so, and honestly believe that it is their entitlement.

Such paths include, but are not limited to - priests, doctors, teachers, politicians, footballers, pop stars ... the list does go on, but these are the walks of life where such people are free to exert their unnatural and undeserved sense of superiority, and when discovered, will genuinely feel amazed and aggrieved that the rest of society is actually not willing to allow them to continue down the lifestyle path that they feel they deserve.

That reaction was plain in this doctor, in Gary Glitter, in the duck-house politician who observed that the public should have no say in how he spent 'his' money - and it will always be so.

The attitude, the behaviour, and the bafflement all go hand in hand, always have and always will.

One of the GPs in my practice was brought to justice much quicker thanks to a brave Mum.

Sadly Mikey professions and characters are two different things ( thank goodness, slaughterhouse men etc!) but in this country it was always a matter of respecting a professional regardless. I know of an "event " some years ago where a well known doctor and a man of the cloth were found together in a public toilet, the case didn't go to court as it was thought not to be in the public interest, and so it goes on.

[DaisyNonna]

wired, what era are you living in?

[Peter Pedant]

my doctor suddenly stopped practice
which was funny as he was quite good at his job ....

[doing something else incompatible with a licence]

ironically co incided with a widely reported case where the doctor was acquitted in record time.
