GMC suspends Nigel Speight

[Large Donner]

Why don't they just be done with it and call him a child abuser?

But at least we once more have confirmation that AYME is a fatigue charity run by morons.

Who is their medical Adviser?

Who is their medical Adviser?

Pretty sure it's still Esther Crawley, she of the miraculous cures and coincidental new diagnoses of psychiatric disorders supposedly featuring exactly the same symptoms as the "cured" disease

Therein you have the reason for their lame statement.

Thats interesting, her cure works on physical diseases but not on behavioral disorders.

Either that or the evidence proves it works on neither.

Doesn't that prove her CBT GET and LP to be a failure in itself and therefore she can release herself from any more studies funded by the public purse.

Yes, it's Esther Crawley.

Dr Speight has kindly asked people not to assemble or sign petitions in his name, as he is worried about impact on his case, which is ongoing.

Please do not assemble or sign petitions regarding Dr Speight, and please spread this information on any other platforms on which you are active. I know everyone means to help, but this is not the wish of the doctor himself.

Thanks,

Jaime

Thank you, Bob. I've removed the petition from #MEAction. I'm sorry to the person who posted it, but we spoke with the Dr and he specifically asked us at #MEAction not to do this.

I apologize to the people who signed, as well.

However, let's wait and see what the doctor needs before we act.

@JaimeS, thanks for letting us know, and for keeping us up-to-date. The petition was obviously very well meant but if Dr Speight doesn't want it right now then that's fine and we'll obviously support his wishes.

Just wanted to update folks regarding the group card that 1080 of you signed, Dr Speight has received it and said he wish he could thank each one of you!

Dr Speight, if you read this, please know that we are all behind you!

This is great news. Its so shocking that Esther Crawly is well documented all over the net by parent testimony to have caused harm to peoples children yet shes just continues to get away with it.

It basically comes down to this, Crawley is prepared to play dirty games and use her position to blacken the names of parents so they are wary of reporting her to the GMC lest an investigation of themselves be the outcome to resolve the "differences" between the parent and the physician.

Some good news.
The GMC have decided to close the case against Dr Nigel Speight with no action.

Nigel wishes to thank everyone for all the support over this last 18 months

Fantastic news. I don't suppose the GMC will go a step further and investigate why he was reported in the first place, and, if by another doctor, investigate their motivation and their medical practices.

From that page on IiME Research website -

We saw no action, or interest, from the GMC when the Smile Study was proposed and underway.

Not wanting to derail on to the topic of the NICE surveillance review or EC but I noticed NICE referenced the letter from the GMC in reply to complaints raised against EC in relation to the SMILE trial: https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/CG53/documents/surveillance-review-proposal

Topic expert highlighted that the General Medical Council (GMC) has stated that there is no evidence to prove differences or similarities between children and adults with ME (57 refs this: https://frownatsmile.wordpress.com/2011/05/26/gmc-says-case-closed/)

Just heard this very good news direct from Nigel - who is hon paediatric medical adviser to the MEA

This is really good news and means that Nigel can resume his work with children and young people with ME/CFS

Nigel has asked if I could post this message on social media for him:

"I am very happy to announce that, after an 18 month investigation over my ME related work, the GMC have decided to close the case with no action taken. I would like to thank everyone who gave me moral support and glowing testimonials to help me over this time. It really helped

Best wishes to all in the ME community"

'Like' is inefficient here.
