“Did anyone notice in the news that nearly a thousand practising doctors and consultants have criminal convictions?

I found that very surprising indeed.

This is what the report released today said:

"They showed that 25 had convictions for actual bodily harm and three for grievous bodily harm, while three were caught in possession of indecent images of children.

There were also two convictions for causing death by dangerous driving, two of drug trafficking, and two of cruelty to children.

Other offences included attacking their partners, harassment, weapon possession, threats to kill, perverting justice, fraud, kerb crawling, forgery and theft, as well as driving offences. The largest category, at 296, was for being drunk at the wheel."”
