To think a week's suspension isn't enough for this ?

Final written warning would be more appropriate

I can understand him wanting to look, but actually doing it? No.

If ‘because it’s his baby’ is a justification for this then it’s a slippery slide to ‘unless both parents agree an abortion can’t be had’. A woman’s body is her own and this is despicable behaviour. He should have been sacked at the least and would have been I reckon had it not been because of a pregnancy.

Disgusting behaviour. Final written warning and probation at the very least. That's what happened to a nurse I worked with who looked up a celebrities details. Admittedly she was possibly planning to sell the info however I almost think doing it to your own family is worse!

His baby but more importantly her body. I don't believe he should have been sacked, it isn't as though we have an abundance of doctors, but there do still need to be stronger repercussions then just a week off work.
I wonder though how many people in privileged positions do this, council workers, HR staff, police, all have access to records of people they know. I bet sneaking a peak, however awful, isn't as uncommon as we like to think.

I wonder if this could be used by the woman in question in a private prosecution?

I suspect that there might be a back story here as well and this might form a pattern of behaviour.

A week’s suspension seems like a joke… !

I would have hated this. Wouldn’t want to be treated by him either!

So you think he should not only lose his job, but he barred from practicing medicine the rest of his life? You’re one of those no second chances type of people aren’t you.

No I'm not. But what he did isn't a bagatelle. It is huge. You can be struck off for a year or so. Just to drive a point home.

By the way your French is wrong you said “for encouraging the others” when I think you mean to discourage or deter others, which is pour dissuader les autres.

My French is fine, thanks. It's a quote by Voltaire, and it does what it says on the tin. It is used all the time in writing to mean "setting an example". Oh wait - are you the radiologist?

It's a quote by Voltaire, and it does what it says on the tin. It is used all the time in writing to mean "setting an example"

But there’s a nuance to the phrase as to what sort of example is being set. This phrase means setting an example by punishing someone who didn’t do enough, not setting an example by punishing someone who did something wrong/committed a crime. Have a second look at the context, you’ll see.

She then went on to manage to get a GP reception job, whether she's kept it since this has hit the press I'm unsure

When I was 15 part of my work was in the histocytology lab, mounting samples on slides. One came through with my aunt's name and it roughly matched her age. May have been her or may not but I alerted work experience supervisor and that one wasn't mounted by me. I knew it wouldn't be right for me to do that slide at 15 so he damn well knew what he was doing was far worse

Sorry, work experience at 15
