Dr Adrian Harrop - Dr Misogyny is pursuing another woman.

Dr Adrian Harrop now has Dawn Furness in his metaphorical gun sights. He has sent a series of Tweets to The Green Party to point them to the fact she is appearing at a Woman's Place meeting soon and that she must state her position on trans rights. This is a deliberate attempt to capitalise on his success in getting Olivia Palmer suspended.

It is an act dripping in pure hatred of women.

Apologies, I see he is not actually on the GP register, just registered with the GMC. Can a complaint be made to the GMC?

Sarahconnor1 · 30/07/2018 14:31

Er... so this man is accusing MN posters of being violent?

Well yes. He is so full of venom for women who don't agree with him. This latest round of tweets are exceptionally aggressive.

DJLippy · 30/07/2018 14:32

Yes we do. He thinks he can pick on me because I am 'only' a health care assistant? He waited until he found out my lowly position before he started his full frontal assault. He's about to find out what us little women can do!

pearlkent · 30/07/2018 14:34

He is NOT on the GP register. If you go to the GMC website anyone can check a doctor's status. He is not on the GP register or any other specialist register. I wish the GMC website would give more information - like where they are currently working.
Really can't believe a qualified medic can get away with this conduct.

Complaints have already been made on account of past behaviour, no doubt more will be forthcoming. Not sure if that was to the gmc though. In any event Harrop has undoubtably broken the social media policy of every NHS trust in the country.

I think he is more interested in a media rather than medical career though.

beldaran · 30/07/2018 14:39

Have just read the twitter exchange between the two of you.....the sheer arrogance that pours from his posts is astounding! He really really needs to be put back in his place, he has no concern for safeguarding at all.....I would hate to have been treated by him and then have him discuss me all over social media!

I hope you are ok DJLippy and that the police take it seriously.

Thanks and Ginto you.

I think it’s definitely worth those who have been targeted by him making a report to the GMC - this behaviour is so far away from the professional standards expected of doctors. Like other posters, I think it’s very telling that he flaunts his ‘status’ as a doctor through his bio and pic but doesn’t seem to have had much success in his career so far. Where is he currently working?

Sandy I'm not trying to defend Dr h but the cervical screening advice he gave looks essentially correct to me based on the nhs link? The vault screens are done via the hysterectomy clinic so although they could still be classed as screening, women who need them will get them separately from their Gp practice?

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 30/07/2018 14:46

What on earth is the matter with him? In the last week or so he's made a complete fool of himself by falling over himself to tweet/retweet a libellous tweet that had been photoshopped to discredit two separate women and had to apologise publicly; launched a vicious personal attack on a woman who had hours earlier been talking about suffering from depression and being a carer for her severely disabled husband; and now this attack on DJLippy.

In between he's tweeted with another HCP who is blithely handing out details of one of her patients and he's swearing blind there is nothing unprofessional about this, it's all anonymous, and what would a lowly non-doctor know about professionalism anyway.

He's also chucked in a tweet claiming that women who have had a hysterectomy removing the cervix will never need another smear test and when a woman (a mere woman daring to speak to the great Dr Harrop, imagine!) had the temerity to point out that both the Mayo Clinic and the NHS websites say differently he's loftily told her that he wasn't wrong at all, he just used different terminology. The fact that his revised tweets do use the word smear test, just prefixed by the word vault, doesn't prove she was right and he was wrong in any way at all.

And that's without even mentioning his tweet a few days ago saying he'd never used various misogynistic terms, which rapidly proved to be wrong, so he ended up having to make a large donation to Women's Aid.

I assume he's between jobs at the moment. Otherwise where does he find the time, apart from anything else?

FermatsTheorem · 30/07/2018 14:50

Flowers DJ - I hope the police take this seriously.

@Bumbungo you may want to take that screen grab down as it has a real name on it - maybe re-post with the name redacted?

MaidOfStars · 30/07/2018 14:51

I’ve reported him too. He’s in some kind of narcissistic meltdown.

NameChangedAgain18 · 30/07/2018 14:53

It does seem that medical schools need to do a better job of screening applicants. You'd think that such institutions would have the knowledge and means to filter out those susceptible to narc rage or sociopathy.

AtreidesFreeWoman · 30/07/2018 14:54

I'm pretty sure that this is the Dr who did an interview last January outside Scarborough A&E claiming the dept was in crisis.

This was outside proper hospital media channels and where he was working as a locum.

He claims he had support for doing so....but was told not to speak to the media again.

I think a lot of trusts might be somewhat wary of employing someone who seems happy to flout policy and talk to the media off their own bat - maybe that's why he's got so much time on his hands? Possibly?

Melanippe · 30/07/2018 15:03

He appears to be wanking himself into some kind of frothy frenzy over it. I suspect he's hoping that Dr Hairplugs will help him into a media career.

I'm so sorry Lippy, These people won't stop until they actually get a woman killed, and then they'll justify it by pretending to be frightened of hamsters.

SPOFS · 30/07/2018 15:09

I am so sorry Lippy. I hope you're okay.

I too would report this to the police just to be on the safe side. Sad

Ereshkigal · 30/07/2018 15:12

I’ve reported him too. He’s in some kind of narcissistic meltdown.

That's what it looks like. The grandiosity is quite alarming.

SunsetBeetch · 30/07/2018 15:15

Who is Dr Hairplugs?

Procrastinator1 · 30/07/2018 15:22

Is he a pip inspector or whatever they are called? The doctor who didn't acknowledge trans people were trans and was in the media recently was sacked for this.

I don't think that Harrop should be assessing any women to see if they qualify for benefits. He should be reported to the police and his employers. I would not normally suggest reporting people to their employers but this is different.

Sarahconnor1 · 30/07/2018 15:24

Harrop thinks reporting to the GMC is time wasting bullshit and his harassment of women inconsequential. He really is fucking clueless when it comes to women, risks, safeguarding etc.

Dr Adrian Harrop - Dr Misogyny is pursuing another woman.
Waddlelikeapenguin · 30/07/2018 15:29

Have just come here from Twitter DJLippy Flowers
I hope this doesnt cause you problems & proves to be the end of this vile man.

LizzieSiddal · 30/07/2018 15:30

He will never work again as a health care professional. Even if prospective employers don't check his SM and he is given a job, all it will take is for someone to send screen shots of his abusive posts and he will be sacked.

The posts show what an unstable, nasty, little misogynist he is.

Vickyyyy · 30/07/2018 15:38

I'm taken aback by these threats

Jesus fucking christ. Thats horrendous

LangCleg · 30/07/2018 15:41

I'm horrified.
