Re persecution of "Dr Scot Jnr":

Further to my recent reports about NHS attacks on free speech by doctors, I thought it fair to make clear that the whole of the NHS should not be tarred with this. Below are particulars of the very senior feminazis actually involved

Professor Elisabeth Paice saw the scatological comment on the forum about Prof. Black and reported it to Prof. Black. Paice is Dean Director, Postgraduate Medical and Dental Education for London; Chair of the Conference of Postgraduate Medical Deans; Chair of the forum for Modernising Medical Careers.

From a recent anonymous blog comment: "Readers may be interested to learn that the London Dean involved is also implicated in copying material from DNUK in order to report another doctor to the GMC. This doctor has sadly committed suicide. Whilst cause and effect are hard to prove, the involvement of Elisabeth Paice in yet another tragic abuse of power has caused much anger amongst doctors, as is her unaccountability."

Professor Dame Carol Black. Either Black or Paice called Needham to get Scot suspended. She is National Director for Health and Work, Chair of the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges and Chair of the Nuffield Trust. From Wikipedia: "Junior NHS Doctors were upset when Dame Carol Black was re-elected Chairperson of the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges (unopposed) in 2008. One junior surgeon launched a scatological attack on Dame Carol on the doctor discussion forum Doctors.net.uk which resulted in Dame Carol's colleage, Professor (Dean) Elizabeth Paice complaining to the junior's dean in Highland (Professor Gillian Needham). The junior doctor was suspended. This caused outrage in the medical blogging and discussion forums, with many authors calling this an abuse of power by the Deans as Carol Black is a public figure and many juniors were justifiably very upset by the problems with the Modernising Medical Careers changes to junior doctor training and held that Dame Carol Black should accept responsibility for the problems that occurred."

Professor Gillian Needham is Post Graduate Dean of Medical Studies, Aberdeen University; Head of the Highland Deanery which is responsible for overseeing Dr Scot Jnr's surgeon training. (Note, she is NOT his employer so has no legal right to suspend/sack him. She allegedly prevailed upon Garry Coutts, Chair of NHS Highland (Scot's employers) to do the deed).
