Would GMC bother with this?

[missbipolar]

So last year I took several overdoses, for 2 of them I was treated by the same Dr (we'll call him A) while he was still treating me we matched on tinder and started to talk- things were very sexual very quickly.

Fast forward 2 weeks and we've swapped numbers and slept together a couple of times. One day I was badly suicidal and had what I thought were the means to take a life ending overdose (in theory it should of killed me and the Dr's say its amazing I did survive) I texted A, told him how I was feeling and asked him to come over support. While waiting for him to come over I took the overdose. He came over and I told him what I'd done, instead of calling an ambulance or taking me to hospital he proceeded to sleep with me -I was bearly conscious at this point and definitely didn't have capacity to consent. My flatmate found me passed out in the kitchen less then 30 minutes after he left and called an ambulance. I got to A&E and was quickly put under a section and moved to ITU for dialysis.

Now I've somewhat let it go, I go to a different hospital for A&E if needed and have tried to block out what happened. However I've just found out he's doing similar to a girl I was in the psych ward with (same kinda story he treated her for mh, and then slept with her once she was discharged) and now I'm considering if its worth speaking to the GMC?

Would I be unreasonable to do this or should I just let it go and move on?

This is shocking to read OP. Isn’t it against the code of conduct for a GP to start an intimate relationship with a patient? I am registered through the HCPC and this is part of our code of conduct. Quite aside from the fact that you were unable to consent to intercourse he also neglected to get you the care you urgently needed & exploited your vulnerability. It’s really very serious and very concerning. Don’t let it go, as others have said it will be taken very seriously.

What I’m trying to say is that the relationship alone (which you can prove) violates his registration.

I'm a final year medical student. Please report to the GMC, they would take this seriously. He should not be using his position of power as a doctor to sleep with any of his patients, let alone prey on any in particularly vulnerable positions and commit rape. If you can, please consider a report to the police also. I am so sorry that you have experienced this, what an awful excuse for a man.

I know it's against the rules for GPs but not really sure on what the rules are for hospitals Dr's where you may only see them once or twice? Idn my heads an absolute mess today, I feel angry, sick and sad. It's also having a huge impact on mh and its frustrating because I'd been doing OK for a little while

Sorry I misread & thought it was your GP but regardless OP same rules would apply. It’s an abuse of his power.

Also I’m sorry OP. I feel angry on your behalf. This shouldn’t have happened.

So I've spent all night drafting a letter to the GMC and PALs, detailing everything that happened (including dates and times) and screenshots of some of our conversations. I've spoken to the other girl about it more and although she isn't a position to make a complaint she will provide evidence if asked. Would I send the PALs letter to the hospital he was working at the time, his current hospital or both?

Please report to the GMC and the police.

I've contacted the police this morning via the online form, I guess I'll hear from them sometime soonish.

Did the police come back to you @missbipolar ?

Yes they did, I spoke to 2 officers at length about everything, and the other girl was also contacted by them. They were really lovely all though it was abit awkward talking about this kind of thing to 2 males. They've since taken my phone that had all the evidence on it, and are just building their case I guess? I'll be honest I haven't really taken a huge amount in and wished Id asked for a support person to be with me. I've submitted a complaint to the GMC and to PALs both at the hospital he was previously at (where he met me) and the one he's at currently (where he met the other girl). It's been a really hard few days bringing up everything that happened, I'm still questioning if I made the right decision and there's a part of me that's been considering overdose again because of it all.

Seriously?

I don’t understand the last two comments & have reported one.
Well done for pursuing this OP & I’m glad you have been listened to. I can totally imagine how difficult it would be to go over everything again. Were details of support services provided?

I have alot of support from my psychiatrist, psychologist and flatmate which is helpful so I don't feel I need any additional ATM but have been given a contact just in case I need it.
