How is it fair that someone I was at Med School with who seriously assaulted someone whilst drunk was only given a 12 month GMC suspension and community service plus fines whereas because I have mental health issues in the end I was effectively forced off the register? The GMC are hugely bigoted when it comes to MH issues and believe everyone with the slightest mental illness is the next Harold Shipman - you will never stop a Harold Shipman. Whilst I was still on the register I was told I was not allowed to speak about any of this but now one of the few bonuses I have is that I can say what I want about them - it's called freedom of speech and it is a human right. Not that the GMC know anything about preserving human rights. They would not treat ppl so unfairly if they did. So it appears the GMC is happy to allow thugs who cause coma in someone to continue to practise but woe betide if you are ill - then you really are in trouble. Cant have ppl letting down the side and of course everyone withb mental illness is a serial killer too.
