In my defence (!) you did say "I would be surprised if the GMC (general medical council) don’t have something to say on the matter, suspended or struck off. This could have serious implications on his fitness to practice, whether LL is guilty or not.".
Or was that someone else? Apologies if so.
But you’re implying that I suggested his career should be ruined. That wasnt what I meant.
I said; I would be surprised if the gmc didn’t have something to say on the matter.
Whether that is informally, a discussion with him/asking for a fitness to practice meeting or whatever, that it’s possible they may want to discuss things with him. That is just part of being on the register as I know you will be aware. It’s not an unlikely thought to have that it’s possible the gmc may have questions too.
The thing is; he was aware there were an increased number of deaths in the unit etc. There was also the “chaos” between the triplets and baby Q, he was aware of all that.
He has a private and confidential discussion with another professional (doctor) via email and it was not up for disclosure the way it was with friends/nursing colleagues, lovers or whatever. It was a genuine concern for patient safety and he sent it to her.
Instead of stepping back and keeping that confidential very serious information to himself- he forwarded it to her leaving the paper trail to boot that “if” there indeed was someone harming patients in their team, the “grapevine” as they referred to it as would have all known about it.
Now I didn’t imply his career should be ruined, given the circumstances I meant that it’s possible (or at least I wouldn’t be surprised) if the gmc would want a discussion on the matter. That is not an unreasonable thought given his professional position.
