"Close to You" :)
It is true that everyone is talking about the King Of Expletives Dr Rant. Hemlockgate is now finding wider interest in the newspapers. The summary of the background tale can be found here.
Cockroach Catcher has an interesting take on the issue.

I was though intrigued by one short word in the Daily Mail in 2001.
"Colleague and close friend Professor Gillian Needham, a lecturer in post graduate medicine, also ate some, but was less seriously affected"
Rumour has it that it is easier to interview the Loch Ness monster than it is to find Dr Scot Jnr. Sightings of him have been found in the sea of a doctors only web site where he told the world that his bosses were entitled to a private life. Of course, being "soft" about these issues isn't going to win him his battle. Privacy works both ways. There should be no interference of posts on internet forums that are made out of hours. Now that there is interference, it is only right that we also interfere to challenge whether the laws of common decency and morality can be adhered to by the medical elite themselves. Double standards are a fine thing when they remain undiscovered.
Now lets take a look at the logic. Gill Needham is covered by the Management Regulations at GMC Towers.
These guidance refer to the Nolan Committee report.
MPs have had to resign following an admission of an affair. David Mellor resigned over the sex scandal. The infamous Profumo Affair. Then there was David Blunkett.
Recently, an affair with a married man has been examined again in court.
I have no idea why people get married, we are all flawed humans in the end. It makes a mockery of marriage vows. It always takes two to tango to break marriage vows, the married partner and the mistress. Everyone is entitled to privacy beyond closed doors but as the medical elite judges a swear word on a internet forum by its own standards, the world judges the dishonesty of illicit affairs by its own standards.
'to have and to hold
from this day forward;
for better, for worse,
for richer, for poorer,
in sickness and in health,
to love and to cherish,
till death us do part'
