A UK doctor fired over a blog link

August 22, 2007

Bizarre. She linked to an already public document:

A mental health doctor is headed for a showdown with the General Medical Council (GMC) in the High Court because she is accused of breaking confidentiality by posting a link on her blog.

Dr Rita Pal’s link led to an American site called Furious Seasons, which had published a PDF of the minutes of a July 2006 fitness to practice hearing of the British Psychological Society (BPS).

Furious Seasons comments on the situation.
