Gerry is a cardiologist at a minor hospital, hardly top of his game in all of Europe. He was unknown by the establishment.
.
For once and for all, Dr Gerald McCann is a prominent and highly respected heart specialist with memberships of the most prestigious medical groups in the UK, so please stop insisting otherwise!
He is currently a board member of the British Society of Cardiovascular Resonance and is also a Faculty Member of the British Cardiovascular Society, lecturing at the Royal College of Physicians, London.
Gerry McCann is a Consultant Cardiologist and Honorary Senior Lecturer at University Hospitals of Leicester having been appointed in 2005.

Cardiology training included periods in Glasgow, New Zealand and Leicester before completing a fellowship in Cardiac MRI (CMR) at the VU Medical Center in Amsterdam under the supervision of Prof. van Rossum. The CMR service at Leicester is run in conjunction with 5 radiologists and more than 2000 scans are performed per annum.

Children to die accidently,.
Absolutely they do, especially when left alone to cry and wander in strange hotel rooms with no carers.
normal people do not vilify the patents so Gerry's career would not have been harmed by that. Even if she was drugged it would be easier to say she got hold of it herself than report her missing. .
It's not about "normal people" vilifying anyone.
It's about a very real fear of losing one's reputation and with it, one's income, self esteem, and position at the top of the Establishment.
Think of this, Gerry has. Been an aguido, been accused of all sorts by early media reports and fanatics online, had fanatics turn up at his workplace and complain to GMC and he admitted leaving his child whilst at dinner. Yet his career has not been harmed, so do we really think losing a child in an accident would harm in..
Hindsight is 20.20. Neither you nor I could have predicted this saga, nor how it has turned out. McCann didn't know for sure he would lose his prestige if caught neglecting his kids, so maybe he did his best to make sure no one found out.
Tanner was not particularly close to the McCann's either, she was a friend of a friend more than anything..
From the mouth of Tanner -
Kate and Gerry again wed socialise with them, I didnt know them as well as the others but I mean it was a very comfortable group, so.

Sounds very friendly to me.
And no evidence has come tho light to suggest Payne lied either. .
Yes, it has. The missing 30 minutes with Kate and the children has never been explained.
And the McCann's had only been on a group holiday once before for a wedding,.
Untrue. They had been several times in different combinations.
4078 Okay. So before we go on to talking about your holiday in Praia Da Luz can you just give me a bit of background information about how you came to be going on holiday with that group?
Reply Yeah err well were very good friends with David and Fiona, and Matt and Rachael, err and it was really down to Fiona that decided that, first of all decided to go on holiday. Wed been on holiday with those two couples before...Err so yeah so David, so we said we decided oh yeah well go and itll be nice to see everybody, and we know Kate and Gerry, wed sort of socialised with them but not as well probably as the other, as the other two couples....Err but theyd been on holiday with David and Fiona before and so, and theyve got children the same age as well, you know obviously Madeleines the same age as Ella, so a bit of a nice group.
4078 So you knew them all but you hadnt all been on holiday as a group before?
Reply No, weve been with Matt and Rachael and David and Fiona. And David and Fiona had been with Kate and Gerry but we hadnt been, not the eight, or the nine of us including Fis mum, we hadnt been on holiday before.
4078 Okay.
Reply We were actually supposed to go on holiday when Kate and Gerry and David and Fiona went on holiday together, we were supposed to be going, but then after wed booked the holiday I realised I was going to be giving birth around the time of the holiday so we couldnt go anymore.
4078 Right.
Reply So, but we had planned before.
4078 How well, I know you say youve been away with them all before and it was the first time youve been away with Kate and Gerry, how well did the group of you know each other would you say? And were you very comfortable with each other?
Reply Yeah very, very comfortable....as I say weve been on holiday, we socialise a lot so yeah were very good friends. Kate and Gerry again wed socialise with them, I didnt know them as well as the others but I mean it was a very comfortable group, so.

They were close enough to have planned this group holiday at an earlier time, only to have it fall through. I'd say that's "close".
and what is wrong with going on holiday with friends, its very common for middle class people.
Can you please show me where anyone has said there is something "wrong" with this? :banghead:
I've never known what "middle class" people are anyway, as if people are stacked in layers like a sandwich. Ridiculous generalisation belonging to a different era. People are just people.
