Should he have been jailed in the first place and should he now be allowed to practice once again?

I do. But surely that's why you hire a good doctor, because he's better qualified to assess the correct dosage than someone like Michael Jackson or me? He was there to do a specialist job and failed.

\\\\ a good doctor,\\\

What do you mean by a good doctor? I assume that you mean a well qualified doctor. What do you mean by a "well qualified doctor?"

Yes, yes, I know all that.

An eminent doctor is one who makes less mistakes than a good doctor who makes less mistakes than an ordinary doctor, who makes less mistakes than a junior doctor. Get the picture?....There are no guarantees in the practice of Medicine and Surgery.

You want him to be your GP huh AOG ?
Good luck !

No he didnt care for dead Mike - he was not trained to give propofol but gave it anyway, too much and didnt know what to do when he got into difficulties (with the drug, rather than the police). He also tried to cover up or dispose of evidence.

Other than that - his practice was such that he fould have been on the GMC Council itself.....
