Jesus. He's talking like he was seriously assaulted. This is an utter mockery.

Five minutes ago he said he was taking all the necessary steps in order TO escalate it!

He needed support to walk him to his fucking car?

Don't forget words are actual violence

Anyone want to estimate the height and reach differential between BU and SP that makes that an unlikely scenario?

speculation

Consultant walked him to his car, because 'she recognised I was really upset'

The female Dr walked him to his car??!!!

So I'm struck by how his demeanor in the CR is arrogant and mansplainy 'raise it through the proper channels' and then he bursts into womanly tears in the well being room.

'when I got home I cried a lot, spoke to my wife, wrote some emails to [unaudible] recounting the events'

Good job there were no patients that needed a doctor

The other doctor kindly walked me back to my car because she recognised I was really upset. When I got home I cried a lot.

A&E doctor, people. What on earth happens if someone dies when you are on duty.

But don't worry. He unloaded it to his wife. And mum.

"With the assistance of my wife I wrote an email" saying to meet and discuss what would happen next 3.17am 25th Dec

Maybe it was really to make sure he went home and not into the women's changing room again!

His poor wife.

His wife? 🙄👀

I guarantee this man has been all over his socials getting egged on, and loving the way it feels to be portrayed as a helpless damsel in distress, the victim of patriarchy and cat calling, burly construction workers.

i'm astonished JR can't see it, but if she's also in the echo chamber, she might easily agree with it all

This evidence makes me wonder if Dr Upton in mentally/emotionally stable enough to work in a busy hospital role. I've only ever been in hospital as a patient but I've seen the way that nursing staff get shouted at and generally mistreated. Either that or it's a complete setup and he went in to the job with an agenda.

Lots of women corralled to keep the delusion going.

He has a wife?

He ‘doesn’t like the idea of people looking at him’.

But:

[Sandie] Didn't look at or acknowledge Dr U while providing report. SP left the Drs area. Dr U made notes about this interaction "took keep track of them" "when I have these interactions I try to write them as soon as possible as they are fresh in my mind"

Again - WHICH IS IT?

This man has a lot of women making life more comfortable for him.

Is she even there?

Fantasy. He's male bodied, the women are female bodied. He's at no risk of attack.

Remember when we were told women would be able to have single sex changing rooms

Where are they exactly?

This is so ridiculous no wonder the whole edifice is getting pushed down
