To think this doctor really really hates mumsnet

[Ikeasucks]

Glad he’s got his priorities right in the middle of a pandemic. He’s really, really want to see mumsnet closed down and has a fair following - even been on telly

[Binterested]

Me too! I thought Skyr was that acidic type of yogurt but if it’s an excuse to eat clotted cream for breakfast then I’m in

Also endorse Cravendale. Didn’t know Arla was a cooperative. I’ll be buying their products more consistently from now on.

Dr Harrop though. What a horror show. How is he still working at a GP surgery? Imagine going in for a smear and finding him behind the desk . I feel I want to warn all the women in his area.

Skyr is lovely, especially with some fruit sprinkled in it (I prefer the natural one but they do have flavours). And if I'm not on a diet, a squirt of maple syrup

Is Ann Coates a sock puppet of Big Steph? They have the same pompous way of posting with a threatening undertone.

Apparently, yes.

Haddock is applying 'convenient theories for me and my pet loves/hates' to the issue of why women are less affected by C19 than men - the science is overwhelming that it's having the two XX chromosomes.

His campaign against Mumsnet is merely a part of his campaign against women in general - he detests all of us.

Where is Haddock’s surgery? Ancoats, by any chance?

"Here's one doctor who believes we should have just ignored the virus

March Independent:
Coronavirus: Dr Christian Jessen says Italians are using pandemic as an excuse for ‘long siesta’
Jessen said the illness is ‘like a bad cold really, let’s be honest’
(extract)
"The death toll from Italy’s coronavirus outbreak passed 1,000 on Thursday (12 March). The entire country remains paralysed, with non-essential shops and businesses closed, and yesterday, Rome’s Catholic churches were ordered to close due to the pandemic – a move believed to be unprecedented in modern times.

During an interview on FUBAR Radio’s Access All Areas about the outbreak, Jessen said: “This might be a little bit racist to say this, [and] you’ll have to make apologies, but do you not think it’s a bit of an excuse?

“The Italians, any old excuse to, you know, shut down everything and stop work for a bit and have a long siesta.” (continues)

When told by host Stephen Leng that 10 people have now died in the UK from coronavirus, Jessen added: “Now I know that’s tragic for those involved but it’s not exactly huge numbers is it compared to flu, which is thousands.

“It doesn’t affect mothers, it doesn’t affect pregnant women, it doesn’t affect children so far as we know. So why this massive panic?

“This is like a bad cold really, let’s be honest.”

When asked if the press were scare mongering, he answered: “Totally. Totally. I think it’s a Daily Mail epidemic. I don’t think it’s a – it’s a real epidemic. Well, it’s obviously a real epidemic, but I think we are more worried than we need to be." (continues)

Dr Ranj is also a bit of a twat. What is it with these tv drs? Some gay men seem to have a bit of an issue with MN. I think they are badly letting down the LGBT community with this attitude to smart women talking.

Not all women. He seems close to his 'friend, colleague & fellow transadvocate' Dr Helen Webberley

May 2018 Independent interview about Ch4 'Gender Quake Debate' with Helen Webberley:
(extract)
So I was not surprised to receive an invitation to appear on Genderquake, part of Channel 4’s series of programmes which are described as an opportunity “to encourage and to enlighten public discussion about sexuality and gender identity”.

My initial response was entirely positive. There is an overwhelming need for informed debate round the topic of society’s approach to transgender people and how we can better support this marginalised group. As a medical professional who has had firsthand experience of meeting and treating more members of the transgender community than most in my position, I was keen to add my voice to the mix.
This changed rather abruptly after I dug a little deeper. I spoke to a GP registrar and LGBTQ+ advocate (Dr Adrian Harrop) who had also been contacted by Channel 4, as well as a number of friends, fellow trans advocates and members of the trans community. The overwhelming opinion was that this had the potential to be yet another orchestrated engineered battle between trans people and those who essentially deny their very existence."

Safety concerns over websites selling prescription drugs
By Dr Faye Kirkland
BBC Panorama
(extract)
England's healthcare regulator is calling for a change in the law to protect patients using online doctor sites selling prescription-only drugs.

It comes after a BBC Panorama investigation exposed safety concerns relating to websites using doctors from companies based outside England.

The Care Quality Commission said these websites could be "dangerous".

Currently, it can only inspect websites employing doctors contracted by companies in England. (continues)

Prof Helen Stokes-Lampard, chair of the Royal College of GPs, told Panorama: "I'm horrified to see some of those sites that you showed me, to see that you click on the drug first, and then you go through the consultation, and just how easy it was to circumvent the process.

"This isn't right. It's not safe. It has to be sorted."

Celebrity doctor link
Panorama has discovered another UK-based online doctor site using the same Romanian loophole.

UK Meds cannot be regulated by the CQC because it hires doctors to do consultations and prescriptions through its sister company EU General Practitioners in Romania.

The site, which has already made £1.7m profit since it was set up in 2016, is promoted by celebrity doctor Christian Jessen.

Panorama showed the site to Gino Martini, chief scientist for the Royal Pharmaceutical Society.

He said: "As a professional body we do not support promotion of prescription-only medicines.

"What I saw on that website was direct promotion to patients, so it is something we wouldn't support and is something we should really raise with the drug regulators as not being appropriate."

After Panorama wrote to Dr Jessen and UK Meds, the videos featuring him were "temporarily unavailable" before a "clarification notice" was added saying: "This video is for information purposes only. If you have any specific concerns about your health please consult your GP."

UK Meds said the changes to their website were nothing to do with Panorama.

A spokesperson for Dr Jessen told Panorama he was engaged by UK Meds to present short information videos about various medical conditions and that he does not prescribe medication, nor does he endorse a specific product, service or brand." (continues)

Dr Ranj is also a bit of a twat. What is it with these tv drs?

I knew he'd said something at some point but don't know what it was? Was it about MN?

[Surroundedbyeediotics]

Mumsnet isn’t transphobic but a lot of posters are.

[Binterested]

I’m not anyone phobic but I don’t think people can change sex. Dr Harrop thinks anyone like me is transphobic. Means less than nothing these days.

[Michelleoftheresistance]

Mumsnet isn’t transphobic but a lot of posters are.

By asserting that female is a material reality, that female humans have needs specific to that material reality and should not automatically be regarded as support humans, and that there are limits as to how far someone's personal choice of identity can be prioritised over other people's rights and best interests.

Whatever. If you want to call that meaningless but derogative names crack on.

[DickKerrLadies]

Mumsnet isn’t transphobic but a lot of posters are.

Hi Surroundedbyeediotics - What sort of thing do you mean by transphobic? I only ask because as you can see there's been a bit of confusion in this thread. One person said that it wasn't transphobic to say that people can't change sex but that it was transphobic to say that males can't become females. Like I say, confusing.

Thanks.

[nauticant]

Another "transphobic" belief is that children who go through puberty and experience a great deal of identity-related distress are on the whole better off receiving counselling to help them through this difficult time instead of being given potent and damaging drugs that lead to the children growing up to be sterilised adults lacking sexual function.

[Binterested]

Good Lord. I hate the lockdown police and their insistence that we may only leave the house if we have a leg falling off but posting that on Twitter is - a little tone deaf. Jolyon and the fox style. Something else these two egotists have in common.

Or an attempt at distraction (which may have been used before) to generate some outrage which can be used as an examplar.
