Shake me up Judy Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Stupid? Yes Deserves to lose his job and get put in the papers? Not convinced Are you sure Trumpton ? Doesn't it call into question his professional judgement. The guy is a doctor. I'm sure I, and many other posters, would have lost my job and made the Manx papers in the same circumstances. The GMC obviously take it very seriously and I would think you have to be a very naughty boy to go before them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hboy Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 http://www.independe...ct-8194230.html ...seems to have slipped the local attention. What a w@nker. I wonder who shook his hand when they came in for his next appointment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Power Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 I think his only crime is getting caught. Who did he offend and how was he caught out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manxman8180 Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 ....snip...... The guy is a doctor. I'm sure I, and many other posters, would have lost my job and made the Manx papers in the same circumstances....snip.... But he did on both counts didn't he? I remember coverage at the time, although perhaps not with specific details. And he hasn't committed a criminal offence has he, so details wouldn't necessarily be in the public domain.

woolley Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Absolutely. If sexual activity at work - even solo - is going to be a criminal offence then I think we'll have a lot of people in court. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reading the section from the article below I really don't think it justifies national press attention and the end of a career. "He said: "The woman he was dealing with on the internet was a woman he was in a relationship with. She was not a patient. "He was behind a locked door. He could not have been intruded upon. "There was no risk of staff, patients or children entering the room and being surprised by what they witnessed." He said it was an entirely private moment for the enjoyment of one other person."

I think you're being a bit generous here, and might take a different view if you'd actually seen the webcam video in its full context. People who use these things also need to remember that there's nothing private about them if others choose to see what you're up to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myrtle bradley Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 oh dear Judy, is this the Dr who's helping you with your memory? They're all very nice up at the new Jurby clinic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trmpton Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 A webcam chat with someone can be completely private (FaceTime, Skype etc) perhaps, as is the case with nearly everything published in the press we just don't have enough details to pass any real comment. I still stand by the fact that to my mind, and based on what is published, the punishment seems harsh and a telling off would have been sufficient.

Shake me up Judy Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Myrtle: Isn't this the day you get the bus down to Peel for a nice cup of tea in the Michael Street cafe ? Watch out for them seagulls down there, they'll steal your bun.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
