Self regulation of the medical profession allows Dr. Jane Barton who caused 10 deaths to keep working, corrupt Britain at its best




















Dear All

One of the most interesting aspects of corrupt Britain is self regulation particularly in the medical profession.

Time and time again, we see doctors who have in some cases caused death and significant harm to patients being allowed to continue to practice.

Dr. Jane Barton is a doctor who prescribed "potentially hazardous" levels of drugs to elderly patients who later died.

It should come as no surprise that she isn’t being struck off.

She is being allowed to continue working under certain conditions despite being found guilty of serious professional misconduct.

When a doctor has fouled up and case is taken further by a complaint, a doctor usually has to go before a fitness to practice panel.

Doctors then sit in judgement of other doctors, rather like the old boys network.

The hearing in central London into her serious professional misconduct was attended by relatives of those who died under Barton’s care.

Iain Wilson, the son of Robert Wilson whose father died shouted;

"You should hang your head in shame."

Niall Dickson, GMC chief executive, said;

"Our view was the doctor's name should have been erased from the medical register following the panel's finding of serious professional misconduct.

Even the General Medical Council criticised the panel's ruling.

Barton’s excuse is she was working under "unreasonable pressure" with an "excessive and increasing burden" in caring for patients.

After the hearing Dr Barton said;

"I am disappointed by the decision of the GMC panel”.

I am sure that the 10 dead patients killed by her incompetence would express an equally strong sentiment.

Should she be struck off the medical register?

Yes but more than that she should have resigned herself.

10 dead people, an impressive record.

Yours sincerely

  1. Sooner this Nazi health service is brought under the
    full control of the laws of this country the better.

    NHS, become a sewer of corrupt working practices, practices that harm patients daily, those even become the death of them.

    Stop this NHS, a fascist front.
    Abolish Compulsive Treatment. ACT, now for all our daughters & sons.

    Keep up the good work George Laird, human rights not criminal rights.
