Not on this subject, BUT I have had an update from the GMC re the doctor involved in the assault on the paramedic who avoided prison because he would have lost his job: "I am writing to you in connection with Dr Mann. The GMC’s Interim Orders Panel (IOP) considered the case of Dr Mann at its meeting on 10 July 2007. Dr Mann attended the meeting, and was legally represented. After considering submissions from the GMC’s Presenting Officer and also from Dr Mann’s legal representatives, the IOP considered that it was necessary for the protection of the members of the public, in the public interest and in Dr Mann’s own interests to make an order suspending his registration for a period of 18 months. This means that it is not open to Dr Mann to hold any appointment as a medical practitioner for which registration is required whilst his registration is subject to an order for interim suspension. The order took effect on 10 July 2007 and will be reviewed within six months. I must stress that this is an interim order and there has been no finding against Dr Mann." Apologies for going off the subject (and hope your bruv is OK - no wonder we have a problem with drug resistancy if they're giving IVABs without knowing exactly what they are treating....)
