Olenna it's probably what he does his locum work through. He probably pays less tax that way.

OlennasWimple · 21/12/2018 14:01

Another socialist who avoids paying tax.... Colour me surprised...

Needmoresleep · 21/12/2018 15:04

I thought he was a Tory until relatively recently.

Just been talking to some med students home for the holidays, and the topic got onto misuse of social media. I suggested they might like to look up Adies twitter. Turns out that his name already cropped up in their lecture on use of social media and professional behaviour.

Sad really. All that training and a solid professional future. Why?

OnTheDarkSideOfTheSpoon · 21/12/2018 15:51

Turns out that his name already cropped up in their lecture on use of social media and professional behaviour.

As a cautionary tale? If so, and Harrop is being used as teaching material of how not to behave (I know this hasn't been confirmed) then how on earth can he still be practising?

Needmoresleep · 21/12/2018 16:08

Harrop is being used as teaching material

I have no idea whether his name was mentioned by the lecturer or by a student (one with a MN GC mum perhaps), simply that when I suggested they google Dr Adrian Harrop, they all knew his name and were aware of his Twitter feed.

Not a good if this familiarity is replicated across UK medical schools, or amongst his colleagues. Essentially it makes his, and the GMCs position difficult as it suggests he is impacting on the reputation of his profession.

Sarahconnor1 · 21/12/2018 16:10

He was. Also a green at some point. I guess his political identity is somewhat fluid. Hmm

OnTheDarkSideOfTheSpoon · 21/12/2018 16:11

Ah, it seemed implausible that it would be teaching material but I'm agog at so much these days that I wouldn't be surprised at anything!

Ereshkigal · 21/12/2018 16:24

Oh dear.

Fame or infamy?
(Infamy, infamy, they've all got it in for me...)

GreenHats · 21/12/2018 19:39

Ive sent my reply to the gmc, thanks for the reminder ladies. I didn't have anything new to add but since they'd (finally) replied to my email complaint I thought I'd best reply.

Bittermints · 21/12/2018 21:03

Me too. The poor woman in charge is off for Christmas. I expect she's coming back to a bulging inbox.

Needmoresleep · 21/12/2018 21:10

I wonder how many others, when mixing with extended family, who happen to be in the medical profession, over Christmas will mention Harrop.

Awareness of his prattishness could spread faster than bird flu.

Katvonbatshit · 22/12/2018 15:59

Breaking news. Google is a t*rf.

Real insight into Dr Misogyny. Xmas Wink

OnTheDarkSideOfTheSpoon · 22/12/2018 21:57

As an NHS doctor, shouldn’t Harrop be promoting GIDS instead of claiming that Mermaids is the only source of support?

ScipioAfricanus · 22/12/2018 22:16

I hadn’t realised that anyone suggesting Mermaids should be carefully observed before being given half a million pounds also felt that that money should not be going anywhere near children struggling with gender dysphoria. Same way that all those selfish women who didn’t like being called ‘bleeders’ never do, say or give money in support for people who have periods and refugees. Lucky that we simple minded people have AH to frame everything as a binary choice: good/bad, giving money without question/taking all money away from support for trans people. Hmm

LizzieSiddal · 22/12/2018 22:31

Showing his lack of critical thinking again isn’t he. How did he become a Dr?Confused

newdocket · 23/12/2018 16:42

Anyone know if there been any update on the GMC investigation?

OlennasWimple · 23/12/2018 21:40

Surely anyone who claims to be a decent human being actually isn't? Actual decent human beings just are, they dont' go around proclaiming it

Beagadorsrock · 23/12/2018 22:13

In fact, the 'I'm a decent human being' trope is often seen used by incels in their videos made just before whatever atrocities they tend to commit.

Mumfun · 26/12/2018 18:27

Information was to be in to the GMC by 20 December. I would hope there would be a result in January or February

GreenHats · 27/12/2018 23:31

The email reply I got was that my info had been added to a file which would now go to the assistant registrar for consideration. I very much doubt it will be completed in Jan, they will need to be thorough and investigate every allegation

HerFemaleness · 28/12/2018 00:48

Re. Harrops tweet. I'm struggling to reconcile how a doctor can honestly claim to be a medical professional while defending an organisation who have been recorded making the claim (paraphrasing) sex is a spectrum because clownfish.
