Organic Carla 🦉 Michael McConville William Hayes-Wood I don’t trust the GMC as it stands either. However, when an organisation can no longer be trusted, the solution isn’t to abolish it, but to reform it into something trustworthy. History has plenty of precedents that show that people and therefore societies do NOT self-regulate.

Michael McConville Phil Brown William Hayes-Wood Not sure about this. IMO there was definitely a significant “unknown unknowns” factor at play here empowered by overconfident incompetence. In my view, the real issue isn’t why certain statements were made, but rather why the defence failed to properly challenge such blatant

Peter Hitchens A textbook example of the defense mechanism that is “projection” - accusing others of the very behaviour one is guilty of. Projection is common amongst those who present themselves as victims whilst in fact are the aggressors - a pattern finely demonstrated by several parties

Keith Siau Martyn Pitman Tamta Chkhikvadze Well well well - what do we have here… Another fine example of overempowered ignorance, as always classically paired with an inability to recognise one might be wrong. In other news, a gastroenterologist spreads misinformation on a subject well outside his area of expertise,

Keith Siau Dr Ruth Ann Harpur Calling someone out for posting uneducated and misinformed opinions in front of a very large audience that could impact on patient safety by misinforming people about obstetric risk and safety is not trolling. What is trolling is accusing someone of narcissism for holding you

Keith Siau This highlights some rather concerning knowledge gaps for a practising gastroenterologist. There is a substantial body of literature available on the relationship between malnutrition and obesity. A quick search would have revealed this. But what’s even more troubling is the

Keith Siau Dr Honey choudhary 🩺 What a fascinating reflection. In this case, it’s clear you have a significant number of bereaved parents you owe a direct apology to, following your ill-considered, ignorant and deeply insensitive comments about maternity care yesterday. Your remarks also casually dismissed

Keith Siau Nope. You, as a consultant (🙄) humiliated yourself and exposed your lack of integrity by: Confidently expressing an ignorant opinion on a medical topic well outside your area of expertise and made it appear as if it were a fact. When challenged and corrected by the

Martyn Pitman Keith Siau Emily Barley Hmmmm. A bit harsh? It’s entirely possible that Dr Siau hasn’t come across the maternity inquiries—just as based on a previous post he is unaware that malnutrition can occur in patients with obesity - and that’s an area which falls within his area of expertise. If he is not up

Dr Matt Kneale (🦋drmk.link) Mark McDonald If you take the time to read Phil’s PE articles, it’s clear he is thoroughly up to date with this case and fully aware of the repeated breaches of honesty and integrity involved. He absolutely has both the knowledge and the right to call this out. Perhaps if you’re not up to

I stand by every word I’ve said and every action I’ve taken. Unlike you, I don’t comment publicly on things I know nothing about. If you were informed about the Letby case, you’d know exactly who I am. And if you weren’t, perhaps your

Dr Matt Kneale (🦋drmk.link) Colonel Aleksey Potemkin Peter Elston Mark McDonald Dr Phil Hammond 💙 Peter Hitchens David Davis MP David Rose Michele halligan Matt, I can’t make sense of it for you - no one can unless you’re not willing to make the effort yourself. Understanding this situation requires you to actually look into the case, do your homework, and then take the time to reflect on why it’s deeply inappropriate to publicly


Bill IainCrawford Neil Ross William Hayes-Wood Thameside Dr Phil Hammond đź’™ Michael McConville Phil Brown Lucy Letby had absolutely no relevant expertise to assess whether the results suggested insulin poisoning. She should never have been asked the question in the first place, and the fact that she was exposes the legal incompetence at play which directly contributed to a grave



Martyn Pitman I have no interest in tsunamis. I have an interest in the truth, however. And if the police, GMC and the judiciary continue to pretend that nothing wrong has happened, then the tsunami needs to happen - sure - but in their direction. After all - this is NOT Evans’ or even the

yikes! Richard Gill This is not quite true. I’ve seen the documents in question and agree that the stats were challenged by Gibbs - not mathematically, however, but nevertheless appropriately recognised to be flawed and challenged (through asking the right questions). And there was an actual

Got to give it to The Mail that this is how one owns their mistakes though. But I do wonder - what, if any, repercussions have there been for the
