John,
Thank you for this.
Yes, the doctor on that website did not only make an error, he repeatedly
lied. Fortunately as others have said there is an acceptance that doctors
make "errors", though of course part of the challenge is to make fewer
errors without going crazy.
I must confess though that I find it strange that a doctor who makes errors
and lies can find themselves supported in an appeal, while another doctor
who makes an error which is known to be system related finds themselves in
jail for manslaughter. Doesn't leave much faith in justice here I'm afraid.
In any case, thanks again.
Julian
