There is some true surrealism here. Nigel Speight is pediatric adviser to the ME Association. No patient has had an issue with him, yet he gets reported maliciously by another doctor to the GMC. The GMC suspend him thereby tarnishing his reputation affecting his ability to practice and potentially affecting him financially. Some doctors who have had this happen to them never recover financially. Its adjudicated there there is zero case to answer.
The person who reported him appears to work in the same field and is so controversial its untrue and has numerous parents of patients reporting actual harm to their children. That same person runs controversial trials and seems to have no idea how do define the illness and makes spurious claims about the efficacy and effectiveness of her treatments.
She is in a joint venture with the CMRC with which includes participation from the medical adviser to the ME Association (Charles Shepherd) who works closely with Dr Speight and values him most highly. She is causing alot of concern due to her proposed involvement in a new trail MEGA and her ongoing attitudes to ME and dubious statements.
Charles Shepherd has had to sign something practically amounting to a gagging order to be allowed to participate in the CMRC which seems like it shoe horns people into unconditionally having to support other members regardless of their suitability.
There is something which is called in the public interest which trumps all other agreements or contracts especially when there is serious concern about someones abilities and motives.
She needs to face the same level of enquiry that Nigel Speight just had to endure. Its just farcical that the ME Association can continue to work with her in a collaboration and still be able to look Nigel Speight in the eye as their peadiatric adviser after her malicious complaint that proved to have zero foundation.
How the hell can we have this gagging order arrangement on unconditional support for other CMRC members whilst this woman goes of and maliciously reports the pediatric advisory of the ME association who are a member of the collaborative and absolutely NOTHING happens to her to affect her position in the CMRC?
