  5. “UK medical council overhaul may mean more doctors struck off for racism and antisemitism. Health department says ‘too many’ doctors have been using racist and antisemitic language, particularly on social media, without rebuke.” Great. So criticise Israel for its unrelenting slaughter and you get struck off. What happened to free speech? Oh our Zionist government. #GMC #Israel #Labour

  6. Consultant who called junior doctor ‘bad girl’ and grabbed her waist struck off after tribunal says he ‘treated women like sexual objects’

    Dr Velmurugan Kuppuswamy — known as Dr Vel — was erased from the medical register after the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service (MPTS) found he carried out a pattern of sexually motivated behaviour towards two junior doctors, Dr A and Dr B, between August and October 2021.

    The tribunal said his conduct “fell so far short of the standards of conduct reasonably to be expected of a doctor as to amount to serious misconduct”, and imposed an immediate suspension while erasure takes effect.

    Waist‑grabbing, wrist‑squeezing and ‘bad girl’ comment

    The tribunal found that at a staff accommodation party in September 2021, he hugged Dr A, touched her back, and “squeezed [her] waist”. He then grabbed her wrist, squeezed it, pulled her towards him, smirked, winked, and told her she was a “bad girl” after she joked about smoking being unhealthy.

    In her evidence to the GMC, Dr A said she “felt exposed” and that his behaviour “felt so wrong”. She told police she tried to pull away and told him he was hurting her.

    The tribunal accepted her account, noting she was a junior colleague and that the power imbalance made his behaviour even more serious.

    ‘Sexy dancing’ comments and touching near groin

    The panel also found he stared at Dr B while she danced, told her to “keep doing that sexy dancing for me”, and later put his hand on her thigh before squeezing near her groin area.

    He followed a group of female colleagues around the party and stared at them while they danced.

    During a game of ping‑pong, he told the two women they should “use their chests as paddles” and said being “well‑endowed” was an advantage.

    The tribunal concluded the behaviour was sexually motivated, saying:

    “His behaviour, which involved multiple instances of unwanted physical touching, was sexually motivated.”

    Tribunal rejects his claim of a conspiracy

    Throughout the hearing, Dr Kuppuswamy insisted the allegations were fabricated as retaliation for what he described as “whistleblowing” about another doctor’s performance.

    But the tribunal rejected this entirely, stating:

    “The GMC evidence has firmly disproved that this had any relevance whatsoever… The Tribunal was satisfied that the Allegation was not a conspiracy.”

    It also criticised his attempts to undermine the women’s credibility, calling his claims “unreliable, speculative” and “false”.

    The panel noted he repeatedly referred to the junior doctors as “girls” and was “reluctant to accept” the power imbalance between a consultant and junior staff.

    Previously struck off for dishonesty

    The hearing heard that his name had been removed from the medical register once before, in 2012, after findings of dishonesty. He was restored in November 2020 — less than a year before the sexual harassment took place.

    An apology letter submitted to the tribunal did not accept wrongdoing, instead apologising if anyone had “misinterpreted” his actions. The tribunal said this fell far short of demonstrating insight or remorse.

    ‘Failed to act with integrity’

    In its final determination, the tribunal said:

    “The public ought to be able to trust doctors to conduct themselves with integrity… [His] behaviour represented a significant breach of professional boundaries.”

    It concluded he “failed to act with integrity” and that erasure was the only sanction that could protect public confidence.

    He will be able to apply for restoration in five years.

    Health board response

    Hywel Dda University Health Board said it could not comment on individual staff but added:

    “We have robust policies and procedures in place to ensure the safety of both staff and patients… We are committed to providing a safe, supportive environment.”

    Nononono that's not how the #immuneSystem works! I think your very rational point regarding "?what must be set to zero for this to make sense to a systems-architect" is a most excellent one. Any degree of immunity in #healthcare workers contributes to transmissible pathogens being, well, less-transmitted. When these folks are spending all their time caring for the sick and infirm, that's a lot of moments of reduced-transmission (into a ripe breeding-ground for the pathogen) that happen as a result. Don't even get me started on what happens when a whole #hospital ward changes status from some sort of "normal" status to some sort of "infectious" status. There are a LOT of things that have to be valued at (or near) zero for this to make sense.

    Also keep in mind that exposure to the pathogen or the vaccine carries some risk... These folks are willing to take that risk - essentially - for free! What a treat.

    But wait there's more! These healthcare workers are governed by a famously unsympathetic regulator, who will have little sympathy should standards have fallen because n of the workers were off sick. Those who do go into work are willing to carry that risk, also for free! And even more, some of them might be feeling a bit rubbish too, making it even less probable they can meet those regulatory standards. And they're willing to carry that risk for free too!

    I think there's a heap of stuff being valued at zero here, and this is just that which is apparent in a very superficial rant...

    Very interesting.

    > he and another protester used a glass-break hammer and orange paint to damage 16 pump screens at an Esso petrol station

    ...

    > Dr Hart has been both acquitted and convicted multiple times for nonviolent direct action linked to the climate crisis

    I would be curious to know more about his previous convictions, and whether or not (and if so, how) they influenced sentencing by the judge, and the decision by the GMC to suspend him for 12 months.

    I hope he took advice from his medical defence union or similar before this particular act.

    I can think of many, many ways he could potentially act that would be wildly more sustainable (forgive my use of the word; I mean merely that they might avoid his being imprisoned), and fantastically more damaging to oil extraction, than his chosen course of action. I lament that no one provided him with more constructive discussion before he embarked on these particular acts.
