Can Elizabeth Paice Find the "Abuse Button"???

London Deanery in Abuse Button "SHOCK".

Over the last few days, we have all be debating the issues concerning Elizabeth Plaice. Plaicey has essentially been moaning to the GMC about the true extent of her " shock" . I admit the criticism was made with Art Nouveau lyrical precision with an anglosaxon expletives influence. I thought it was a masterpiece myself. Once I get the entire post, I am going to submit it to the Summer Art Exhibition in London. The artiste in question is none other than surgeon and Scotsman Dr Scot Jnr.

As the vast majority of the medical world has no admiration for contemporary art, I decided to study this Scottish masterpiece.

The Filthy Pen has a lot to say about the use of the anglosaxon expletive. This is what the blog says

"Each of today's graffitists has opted to write a single Anglo-Saxon expletive, and to liven up their chosen word by labouring over its style. And what flourishes they’ve applied. Embellished with artful curves and loops, the opportunities to air their creative bents have not been wasted. They may only have had four letters to work with, but they’ve all managed to create mini masterpieces out of their limited resources"

Timothy Jay the researcher on language states

"If all science on language stopped now, we would know very little about dirty word usage or how dirty word usage relates to more normal language use."

Person Elizabeth Plaice.

In 1975 the Australian linguist B. A. Taylor published a serious study of abusive language in the Australian context. He began his paper thus:

If English were...a Germanic language spoken in Northern Delaware, and particularly if it were the language of some indigenous tribe, it is pretty certain that some enterprising anthropologist would long since have recognised and described the subsystem of taboo language contained within it.

Expletive Deleted is well worth a read. Scot Jnr's masterpiece is therefore a reflection of the times we live in, inspired by the fact that times have moved on as has language. Plaice of course has not moved on. She lives in her ivory tower and dictates. That is what she is good at and that is why everyone hates her.

So what we find terribly offensive really depends on the social norm. This morning, I woke up to find some comments made by Dr Elizabeth Miller. Here they are :-

"People who are shocked by words alone, as opposed to descriptions of real events, lack experience of life. They belong to the "I didn't like the way he looked at me" rather than the "I didn't want my friend to die in custody" school of thinking.

Reasons for such hypersensitivity might include an overprotected life, an over inflated salary, too many layers between the person and what matters, too much power and too little responsibility.

Words alone are not shocking, only the meaning they convey. Perhaps Dr Scott's words hit home because in that tiny vestigial structure that was once her soul, she recognised a truth.

In the meantime, I believe we should all raise our game and aspire to surpass the literary bar raised by Dr Scott Junior - Dr Rant, it's over to you

For the record, I have had far less controversial posts removed from [Doctors only Website]. All a person has to do is press the "report this post" button, the moderators come scuttling and it instantly disappears, as if by magic. Why it took EP seven days to find the button, heaven only knows!

I resigned from [Doctors only Website] early this year largely for this reason. It is not a safe plaice.

We must not of course forget the " shock" caused to other doctors due to Plaicey's negligent actions. One is that of Dr Vijay Jhadav. The other was Tushar Bhadra whom she threatened. There are many many others, the MMC doctors, whistleblowers and others. Plaicey feels everyone else should be held accountable but her. Her response shows that she is of the view she has godlike power to rule everyone on earth. It is time for her resignation now. As a person pointed out last week - it is time London Deanery had a change of management. No one will have confidence in Elizabeth Plaice after the end of this complaint - even if she is vindicated. I also wanted to know her role in Debra Shepherd. I would like to know who reported Debra Shepherd's posts to the GMC. If Plaicey had her claws in Debra Shepherd then we shall then continue to redefine the concept of "shock" . I am still very annoyed about what happened to Debra. I haven't forgotten - just because many other people forget.
