Cardinal Fang's Door Formally Known as the General Medical Council.

The above is the original door to the Spanish Inquisition based in Spain. Dr India sent this to me in line with my habit of parodying the GMC.Those who know the GMC will note the similarities to the Inquisition

"The inquisition was created through papal bull, Ad Abolendam, issued at the end of the 12th century by Pope Lucius III as a way to combat the Albigensian heresy in southern France. There were a huge number of tribunals of the Papal Inquisition in various European kingdoms during the Middle Ages. In the Kingdom of Aragon, a tribunal of the Papal Inquisition was established by the statute of Excommunicamus of Pope Gregory IX, in 1232, during the era of the Albigensian heresy. Its principal representative was Ramon de Penyafort. With time, its importance was diluted, and, by the middle of the 15th century, it was almost forgotten although still there according to the law"

The legend that is Monty Python has a better parody of the GMC :). Doctors who have faced allegations by the GMC will note a certain familiarity. The last attempt to extract a false confession was detailed by us here. Graham Archard, expert to the Spanish Inquisition demanded that this doctor be prosecuted for his beliefs about Vitamin D. Of course, when the research came out to support the doctor, everything went silent. Infact we can hear a pin drop. So I wonder what the expert [who frequently supports quack medicine] has to say for himself. The GMC will no doubt accept that they have been silly little dim boys for taking this issue up in the first place. I have never known a half crazed medical regulatory body who stoops low enough to trawl through the internet printing out posts and messages and then trying to fabricate a so called " expert" opinion. Perhaps its time for the expert to be investigated by the GMC :).
