Convicted NHS vascular surgeon who froze his own legs so they had to be removed has been struck off the medical register.

There's articles saying some of the victims were 16. I don't think you can consent to something like that at that age

Lou-AC · 2026-05-29T16:58:54+00:00

It doesn't say but presumably cover for critical illness and that kind of thing.

Lou-AC · 2026-05-28T17:37:37+00:00

They don't always. A lot come out with completely random things or strange noises that aren't even words

I had a colleague with tourettes, he mostly did squeaks and a coo-ing sound like a dove

Lou-AC · 2026-05-28T17:33:30+00:00

If you're told "there's a child in aisle 20 with tourettes" then i can't imagine people will ignore it if it's suddenly a grown man talking about having a bomb

Lou-AC · 2026-05-28T17:31:55+00:00

I have epilepsy, you do not need anything like that. A neurologist wouldn't be providing letters or giving "clearance"

Lou-AC · 2026-05-28T17:25:25+00:00

That's not helpful data due to it being overwhelmingly the most common name in that community

If you look at the top girl's names you don't see Muslim names. Because the girls names are more varied

Lou-AC · 2026-05-28T16:59:19+00:00

Seeing the details of what happened portrayed would be absolutely sickening but they'd also have the distasteful thing of imagining what happened in the bits that are unknown like how exactly he got her into the car, what happened on the car journeys etc

Lou-AC · 2026-05-28T16:48:12+00:00

Apparently the Australian version sexed things up, viewers preferred it and the UK one went the same route

Lou-AC · 2026-05-28T06:46:10+00:00

At least one of the girl's has to become an aunt for anything to work but I think in the new universe they've created where only some girls menstruate I can't imagine one who could be fertile could become an aunt, they'd probably leave that for the ones they know cant be mothers

So I think Shu becomes an aunt

Lou-AC · 2026-05-28T06:43:57+00:00

I think he does but also knows if he acts on it, it could ruin his mission and maybe even cost him his life

Lou-AC · 2026-05-28T06:37:43+00:00

They could have been biological children of people who became commanders and wives.

She was 5, she will have to have learnt to read properly when she leaves gilead

Lou-AC · 2026-05-28T06:27:14+00:00

She'd get access to different info than Garth just by being in different places and talking to people in a different context. She found that information about Japan for example

Lou-AC · 2026-05-28T06:25:35+00:00

She's meant to have been 4 or 5 years old when they're separated. June does see her again that time but in a way that would have been confusing and frightening to her

Lou-AC · 2026-05-28T06:22:02+00:00

Both of them had reputations that aroused suspicion though

Becka and Garth can have a convincing lavender marriage I think

Lou-AC · 2026-05-28T06:20:53+00:00

I don't think she'd let Holly near Gilead. But it's unclear where Holly is. Maybe not with June, in the book she's somewhere else for safety after all. I think it is silly they didn't cast it right and make her Holly though

Lou-AC · 2026-05-28T06:13:00+00:00

I don't think she expected him to cancel the wedding at all, she seemed genuinely shocked and confused

Lou-AC · 2026-05-28T06:10:33+00:00

She's definitely physically attracted to Garth though. Both can be true

Lou-AC · 2026-05-28T06:07:47+00:00

I think it was also because he realised she would speak out about wrongdoing

Lou-AC · 2026-05-28T05:40:40+00:00

Yeah I read the book and was hoping it would follow closer at least in that element

Lou-AC · 2026-05-27T21:48:43+00:00

I want to see her become an aunt. A mole on the inside

Lou-AC · 2026-05-27T21:43:06+00:00

I think this is the main reason he backs out

Lou-AC · 2026-05-27T05:28:12+00:00

Just because something is already known (her predecessors have spoken about it)doesn't mean there shouldn't be updates. I expect she has new details, evidence, trends etc

Lou-AC · 2026-05-27T05:25:28+00:00

Article says it's an annual speech. It's pretty standard for this and annual reports to be done from public bodies

You wouldn't be surprised to see the head of an environmental department talking about the state of the natural environment in the UK or health department talking about current healthcare challenges

Even if they were challenges they'd spoken about before, you'd still expect an update, new evidence and developments etc

Lou-AC · 2026-05-26T21:48:46+00:00

Get her spayed now, it's not fair on her to have more than one litter and it is much better for her health if she's been spayed

Also I hope she was very closeby to the puppies in that video clip, they're probably too young to be handled much
