GMC Asylum - Imprisoned Doctors Interim Orders are probably a violation of a doctors human rights. They place an invisible sanction on a doctor by issuing conditions or a more transparent sanction by suspension. These orders are done without full hearings. A famous case to be IOP heard is Osbourne's brother.
Nevertheless, the GMC conducts them. I was pondering on Professor Reuben's statistics regarding 78 doctors per year who are struck off which isn't a great deal in the grand scale of the world. There was a mismatch between what the lay of the land is ie many doctors complaining about the GMC and the fact the GMC says that it only takes up a "minority" of complaints. I therefore contemplated where all these doctors were.
I ended up late last night on the IOP website. You can apparently browse this website by date and it is quite shocking to look through. I must say that I was never threatened by an IOP but was shocked at the violation of human rights in the case of Dr India. The GMC were utterly mad, holding an IOP hearing because Dr India had tried to explain that it was the hospital's responsibility to check on his GMC Conditions. The consultant disagreed and attempted to blame him. A verbal fracas broke out between consultant and half wit Dr Leon Le Roux who crowed about how right he was. Dr India then asked the GMC to intervene and sort this issue out. The GMC deemed those emails " inappropriate" but admitted they had no guidance to show what was appropriate.
Instead of sorting out the matter then and there, the crazy nutty fools at the GMC held a IOP, attempted to question his personality then penalised him by removing his rights to work as a locum. Le Roux who was the dimbo in this entire escapade was never criticised at all despite being the cause of it all.
We then recieved an email from the GMC FOI department proving that Leon Le Roux was completely and utterly wrong. It had been the Trust responsibility to check on the doctor. Period. So Dr India was right all along and Dr Le Roux was wrong.
No apology has been issued to Dr India. That is because the GMC aren't into apologies. They are simply into harassment.
Anyway, back to the IOP orders page - between May 2008-May 2009 - there have been at least 5 doctors per day whom the GMC have placed sanctions on. Indeed, the roll call is heart breaking and I often wonder why their fellow colleagues are simply sitting around accepting this violation of human rights in light of the case Wright [ House of Lords]. Given the GMC's utter psychopathic behaviour in many instances, I only wonder what happened to all those doctors.
