We need to find ways of ensuring doctors are treated fairly. On the other hand Doctors are vested with awesome responsibility and with that responsibility comes great accountability. I hope proposals will emerge from Liam Donaldson's report that are fair to doctors and most of ensure safety for patients and the public.Trevor Gayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01148705981847576706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9533912.post-1163332387903547372006-11-12T11:53:00.000+00:002006-11-12T11:53:00.000+00:00If you committed a misdemeanor in business you wou...If you committed a misdemeanor in business you would not be found guilty unless it 'was beyond all reasonable doubt'. <BR/><BR/>Dr Grumble fails to see why doctors should be any different.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9533912.post-1159653359834153802006-09-30T22:55:00.000+01:002006-09-30T22:55:00.000+01:00Thanks DavidHistorically the Medical profession ha...Thanks David<BR/><BR/>Historically the Medical profession has remained outside as you put it 'common practice in business.' <BR/><BR/>I endorse your 'world view' about this and the Liam Donaldson report will help if it is implemented fully. My worry is that some compromises will be made to keep doctors somehow 'outside' wider regulation.Trevor Gayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01148705981847576706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9533912.post-1159540225977141642006-09-29T15:30:00.000+01:002006-09-29T15:30:00.000+01:00I am absolutely astounded and horrified that consu...I am absolutely astounded and horrified that consultants are not assessed in any way. After all, it has been common practice in business for as long as I can remember. But then again perhaps one shouldn’t be surprised as one constantly encounters in the public sector examples of practices that would not be tolerated or are even outlawed for private businesses.<BR/><BR/>I guess it just reinforces a recent comment you made about hospitals being dangerous places!
