    Not like he could appeal. He doesn’t have a leg to stand on legally.

    That article really harps on about him buying extreme porn made by consenting adults making him unsuitable to being a doctor and glosses over the whole him freezing his fucking legs off thing.

      And while being mentally unstable. Is a very valid and important reason to not practice medicine.

      Making a news article about it. Is just horror porn. So the article written has little to harp on about.

      Doctor did dumb stuff to himself proving he was not suited to practice medicine. Is far from a nessesery need to inform the public.

    We have a joke here in the UK about what it takes for the GMC to remove a doctor. They always talk about bringing the profession into disrepute, but it’s never more than throwing the worst ones under the bus to protect the herd.
