News:News Commentary
In this episode of the HJ Talks About Abuse podcast, Alan Collins and Sam Barker discuss the topic of abuse in the medical profession.
This is highly topical at the moment with the case of GP Manish Shah being in the news recently.
The London based GP sexually assaulted 23 female patients by performing unnecessary examinations for his own sexual gratification under the guise of cancer screening.
One of the main issues in this case is the breach of trust between doctor and patient. When you visit a medical professional, they have spent years obtaining specialist knowledge to help them provide the right diagnosis and treatment. The patient must place a profound amount of trust that the professional will have their best interests in mind.
Alan and Sam look into the Manish Shah case in more detail and discuss the issues that are brought to light by similar cases.
