to be appalled that an NHS doctor is joking online about women smelling of fish

Online as well - on a global platform! This guy is surely discrediting the medical profession as well as the NHS, and god knows how his female patients would feel if they knew. He doesn't hide the fact that he works for the NHS and has 'Dr' in his twitter name.

Ah shite me link is wrong

littlbrowndog · 15/10/2018 17:10

It’s on feminist chat. With screenshots of the tweet

OlennasWimple · 15/10/2018 17:10

The GMC is the right place to lodge a complaint - they are even on Twitter themselves (@GMCUK)

This is not, I understand, the first Twitter post from Dr H to be reported to the GMC, so I'm sure they will welcome the additional evidence of his fitness (or otherwise) to practice

IStandWithPosie · 15/10/2018 17:12

He’s a gynaecologist?? Shock

littlbrowndog · 15/10/2018 17:18

Nopes he’s a doc who likes publicity
He was the one who posie trashed on telly

Mrskeats · 15/10/2018 17:20

My complaint about his behaviour has been passed to higher powers at the GMC. All please complain.

placemats · 15/10/2018 17:20

He was interviewed on Sky news was he not?

He also believes that forced child marriage is ok for girls as long as they're black.

The man shouldn't be anywhere near the medical profession. He is a stain upon it.

Disgustingwoman · 15/10/2018 17:25

I'd certainly hope the GMC would be interested in this. I'm governed by a similar body and I know that I have to be very careful what I say on SM. His profile is on the GMC website with guidance on how to report. Is he really a gynaecologist???

Charliethefeminist · 15/10/2018 17:27

Oh my god how disgusting.

placemats · 15/10/2018 17:29

He is not a gynaecologist.

BitterAndOnlySlightlyTwisted · 15/10/2018 17:30

No, he's not a gynaecologist. It's my understanding that he's training as a GP at the moment. God help his female patients!

placemats · 15/10/2018 17:30

What shocks me is that they are in a twitter chat with Aimee Challenor.

Aimee Challenor is a very vulnerable young adult.

Villainelle · 15/10/2018 17:32

Charming. He's no Dr Ranj is he?

Ali1cedowntherabbithole · 15/10/2018 17:33

Actually it looks like he is a GP trainee so not an actual gynaecologist, —not that that makes it a whole lot better— although will have to do rotations through obs, gynae and paeds as part of his training. I’m guessing I have misinterpreted something somewhere.

My bad. Sorry.

Ali1cedowntherabbithole · 15/10/2018 17:33

Strike through fail

MsHopey · 15/10/2018 17:33

Just watched the YouTube link.
Bloody madness.
Be claims women have appropriated the definition of women for their own agenda Hmm

UpstartCrow · 15/10/2018 17:35

How can a trainee call themselves a doctor on social media?

Belina · 15/10/2018 17:36

Where are the receipts someone said this? Screen shot it
