WHY?

Of late, I have been reading the newspaper reports and some of the evidence on the Robbie Powell case. While there are established dishonesties and negligence in that case, I sit here and wonder why on earth GMC investigated me three times - on a typographical error, on defamation and finally over a link. The impact of these investigations have been disastrous. And you have to be medical to understand how disastrous investigations like this can be. Yet doctors who clearly cause the death of a small boy and can lie about it and are allowed to roam free in the NHS. These doctors do not have a suspension nor do they have an alert letter. By stark contrast, Shirine Boardman was ousted from her job, faces various investigations etc on a technicality. Even Dr Scot Jnr has more of a stain on his employment record than the doctors in Robbie Powell's case. Dr India who has never placed any patient had risk has been dragged through the GMC procedures. He feels like he is in Guantanamo Bay. We all feel like that.

I ask the GMC - WHY?

The problem is, you ask the GMC that question and they don't answer you.
