Labour has appointed Becky Francis, an intersectional feminist, to rewrite the national curriculum, which it will then force all schools to teach. Prepare for even more woke claptrap to be shoehorned into the classroom.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4it is certainly unfortunate for the surgeons involved that they are out of pocket,and work for the time being.....they are qualified to work (for goood money!) in a non-clinical field
as i understand these men were struck off for blatantly unnecessary hysterectomies in women who did not require them and who had their future fertility chopped away...having witnessed much surgery,i can say it's not pleasant.another aspect of these cases is that concerned juniors made no attempt to question the procedures,though they were uncomfortable about some of them.....a product of a hierarchical and aggressive teaching system....if they were sloppy surgeons they would not have been struck off(they would never have qualified),they were maniacal and loved to cut.....they had it coming
patients have the choice about their treatment and no procedure should be carried out without express consent,preferably written,these surgeons got no permission...and since the patients rely on reasonable advice from sane and careful staff for guidance these events teach a good lesson...trust the trustworthy
Hold on a minute, son. Your are confusing the case of Dr Neary in Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital where all those hysterectomies took place with a totally different scenario in Cavan General Hospital.
There may be more to the matter than "small interpersonal disputes". By all accounts medically both are skilled men.
However there have been a number of complaints of bullying against one by various medical staff including by the other suspened man who complained of racist and insulting comments.
A compliant of "unethical behaviour" (whatever that is) is been made against the other fellow.
As far as i know both deny any wrongdoing and a committee is been established by the NEHB or the minister, but no timescale had been set for same.
The worrying thing is we have seen in Monaghan General how a fully serviced hospital can change even in a short time. There is now no accident and emergency service or maternity ward in Monaghan. It was not done in an open and transparent manner. There is now only one permenant Consultant Surgeon attached to Cavan General. Temporary locums have replaced the two suspended surgeons but a watchful eye should be maintained here, we have seen a weakening of health services in the Cavan/Monaghan area which is becoming intolerable.
I have many friends and relations (incl. both parents) working in the hospital and the Doctors were indeed suspended over slanging matches and allegations of bullying. There was no suggestion of negligence by either party.
