The Guardian reports a suspension of the junior doctors involved in the "clerical error" scandal.
What is fascinating is that more reviews have been done of their patients than any other case in the history of medicine. The Guardian goes onto say
"No issues have been raised by clinical staff, or patients, about the work of the individuals concerned. However as a precaution, where appropriate, trusts are reviewing the care of patients seen by the students," said the spokesman, adding that the General Medical Council had been informed"
I noticed that the General Medical Council has never reviewed the work of the doctors involved in Robbie Powell's case. Yes, Robbie Powell is dead.
The work of the consultant on Ward 87 was never reviewed despite two/three reports verifying my concerns. So, these poor juniors work will be heavily frisked despite the fact they would have been heavily supervised. It is probably just the prescribing that needs to be reviewed as you have to be Registered before signing on the dotted line.
So these poor junior doctors will have to suffer a "suspension" on their record when their only crime was to be subjected to a spectacular f*** up by their University. And where is the British Medical Association in all this? Actually, where is the BMA when a junior doctor finds themselves in the sh***.
I trust the juniors will be compensated for the inconvenience and distress caused to them by this clerical error. What a horrific situation to be in.
