Dr struck off for social media use

Thought this was interesting. Psychiatrist recently suspended by GMC for his social media use (abusive and targeted tweets, mainly at other professionals). Also a junior doc in Australia suspended by Australian licensing body for abusive tweets. Haddock had better be careful!

Am I just being really dense? Who is everyone talking about? I feel like I'm missing something!

Who is the other psychiatrist? Intrigued.
Very sorry about false alarm. Not intentional, honest!

The psychiatrist’s tweets must have been unbelievably offensive. I know of another doctor whose tweets are some of the most misogynistic I have ever seen, yet they haven’t been struck off yet.

Indeed..

AH no longer allowed to identify himself as a dr on his twitter feed tho.

That won’t help his media career aspirations.

AnyFucker · 10/05/2019 16:59

Sounds fishy to me Smile

Not Haddock?
Damn.

littlbrowndog · 10/05/2019 16:12

My sole gave a jump there. But no the haddock still swimming

I tried 👊😂

truthisarevolutionaryact · 10/05/2019 15:53

Is this man really a qualified psychiatrist? Or just another self identified one?

Kilbranan · 10/05/2019 15:53

I looked at those tweets and they seemed to suggest a dr had been suspended but was more to do with whistleblowing? Not really all that clear cut (though the second was more clear - but I think he was just suspended too)

Ali1cedowntherabbithole · 10/05/2019 15:41

Yup. I fell for it tooGrin

BreakWindandFire · 10/05/2019 15:32

Cor, you're a right tease OP. Grin

AlunWynsKnee · 10/05/2019 15:29

Also in the hopes dashed gang.

Redshoeblueshoe · 10/05/2019 15:27

Another disappointed person here ☹️

BrownEnvelopeWoman · 10/05/2019 14:43

For a moment there, I thought the haddock was off.

megletthesecond · 10/05/2019 14:38

Ah, rats. Not the one I was expecting. He must be close though.

LauraAshleysKnickerDrawer · 10/05/2019 14:22

😆 sorry everyone, not struck off yet! But interesting that first cases of doctors being censured are happening and he'd do well to take note. Don't suppose he will.

Harry the Owl has been doing an intriguing twitter countdown, I thought this was it.
