Cross over from the Green Party terf blocker stuff.

Harrop and his merry band of TRAs are trying to convince Caroline Lucas that it's all the fault of evil terfs really.

So there's Harrop, known harrasser of gender critical women, Terf Blocker, known for lass blocking and reporting of GC women, and LisaQuestions who identified David Challenor's victim

Quite quite mad.

birdbandit · 08/09/2018 20:58

I go offline for one day and come back to learn Dr Harrop is now pretending to be a Muslim woman, on twitter?

Baffled.

Alicethroughtheblackmirror · 08/09/2018 21:08

Oh. My. God.

I hope someone had sent this to the GMC too.

A doctor being offensive to a woman with unscientific woo about her condition. That's disgusting.

Melamin · 08/09/2018 23:08

Is he really a doctor Hmm

Mrskeats · 08/09/2018 23:10

Yes melamin I’m afraid so. I am pursuing a complaint against him through the gmc for his activities on Twitter.

SPOFS · 08/09/2018 23:11

How do we know that these sock puppets are really him?

FloralBunting · 08/09/2018 23:16

SPOFS, the Muslimah Islam one was ridiculously obvious, even before he started talking about himself in the first person while wearing it. Even got himself a healthy follower count for cred points.

Utterly bizarre behaviour, tbh, but I suppose he has an eye to the media career outlook, and plenty of click worthy controversy and notoriety plays into that. I think he thinks he's found the golden goose with the TRA and is pretty invested in pursuing it now.

CertainHalfDesertedStreets · 08/09/2018 23:33

He's going to find out that that's the goose that lays a big shit on your doorstep and then spends the rest of the day honking at you about keeping the neighbourhood clean.

Seriously Adrian. I know you're bitter because mummy named you 'Adrian' but it's time to stop now.

raisinsraisins · 08/09/2018 23:35

How would he get 1400 followers for that account? Is it that easy to buy followers, and is there no way of Twitter knowing that they’ve all been bought?

arranfan · 08/09/2018 23:40

I don't know which thread it is, raisins raisins but someone posted the other day about how to check to see how many followers are purchased. (Maybe even this thread or the 2nd one.)

raisinsraisins · 09/09/2018 00:29

Thanks. Not sure, but looks like have to sign in to do this....

How does recruitment/promotion in the NHS work ?

Is it like the private sector, with ads, applications, interviews open to all ?

If so, has it not occurred to him that he is wrecking his career progression ?

Or is he so convinced he is "presenter / talking head" material that he doesn't care if he sabotages his medical future, just as long as his woke profile is raised high enough to get his mug on the telly ? In the hope it will eventually stick and somebody in the media will offer him less onerous, more lucrative, more famey full time work than doctoring.

If the above is close enough to what is going on, I'm not sure a medical professional with what is looking like a penchant for high risk, high stakes strategies with his own life is the best bet around patients who might prefer more cautious doctors.

Seriously, this is not a good look for the NHS.

So he hand followed/retweeted over a thousand profiles to get the same level of followers as following.

OK. I'm calling it. Junior doctors are not as overworked, over tired as claimed. Or he is using work time to indulge in his SM habit. It has to be one or the other. Unless he has a handy tardis and can create extra time for himself between shifts.

I'm surprised his peers aren't taking exception to the illusion he is creating that they actually have loads of free time and downtime at work to use for their online hobbies/hobbyhorses. But maybe they haven't noticed him letting the side down, cos they are either working flat out, or crumpled in a heap trying to catch up on sleep.

Cesira NHS jobs are advertised on the NHS jobs site. You open an account, upload all your employment/education details etc, then each new application all your details are there, you just have to update your most recent work and put in the relevant application details so it's a really easy system. Not sure if all GP jobs are on the same system. Then potential employers contact your chosen referees. Whether they or HR depts do further digging, eg googling/looking at social media I have no idea. Quite possibly not. In which case Dr Harasser might be quite unknown to future employers I suppose. He broke ranks to speak out on TV news in January during the winter crisis and also wrote an article in a Dr newspaper but he was working as a locum at the time. Trusts wouldn't take kindly to Dr's standing outside the hospital talking to any passing news station but they presumably had no disciplinary options other than to sack him and complain to the locum agency but that would be unlikely to prevent further employment as a locum. Now he's in a GP training programme. His Responsible Officer (training supervisor/mentor) has had lots of complaints about him I imagine including from the GMC and me. I suspect if his clinical work is adequate not sure what she will make of complaints about social media activity. I think this all probably demonstrates a "buyer beware" warning for employers, it's worth doing a bit more research than accepting a glowing reference. Eg A previous manager gave an excellent reference to a midwife to facilitate getting rid of her as she had been having an affair with a patient's husband, it was easier to move her along than investigate and discipline.

He has been on Sky News reviewing the papers in the last few months. From memory he combined this with supper with with his friend Dr Helen Webberley (Gender GP), (from his Twitter comments)

Gender GP's online service is likely to move to Spain soon, as stated on their website.

Wait! What ? No! Don't want your doctor dregs moving to my end of Europe. We have enough problems with our own God Complexed Doctors.

Will Brexit throw a spanner in their works ? I've been here most of my adult life and am married to a national for like, forever. And it's likely there is still going to be more Southern Europe Style beaurocracy than I find do-able. There'd be roadblocks to them just shifting operations over our end surely ?

It is getting harder and harder to cling onto my soft focus version of the homeland with each passing post.

I don't think the intention was to change the pool of patients / customers.

Ereshkigal · 09/09/2018 11:32

I guess that's why it's "soon", Cesira!

Lysistrataknowsherstuff · 09/09/2018 12:13

There is a massive shortage of GPs, which may explain why the good doctor has found it so easy to get on a training programme. The way surgeries are set up was changed relatively recently - I think maybe by Jeremy Hunt - so that GPs are just contracted to the NHS, rather than actually being full time employees of it. It would be up to each individual surgery as to whether they wanted to employ the liability that is Harrop, rather than the NHS trust, so complaints need to go to either the GMC or the surgery's managing partner.

Med students don't generally aspire to be GPs: many actually look on it as a last resort if they don't get appointments elsewhere - pretty much the same as the way they look on being a locum. There are of course exceptions to this, but I'd be very surprised if the good dr Harrop actually wanted to train as a GP rather than just couldn't find anything else.

I don't trust them not to target the local S.European market and peddle their TransWoo over here if existing/changing trade regulations end up making it much harder, much more expensive to focus exclusively on raking it in from the U.K. market.

R0wantrees · 09/09/2018 13:15

Nor should you Cesira!
