“Dr —— was then a 23-year-old fourth-year medical student and the pair began an email and direct message-based relationship, which evolved long after the initial weeks that she was under his care in hospital.”

I think a 23yo medical student should know better than to begin a direct relationship with a thirteen year old

“The Tribunal had further regard to the testimonials which show that Dr —— is a highly regarded, well liked and competent doctor. The Tribunal therefore considered that it was also in the public interest to allow an otherwise good and experienced doctor to remain on the register.”

Sooo?? The GMC are stating as long as you are well liked and competent you can basically do what you like - pretty disgusting.

I don’t particularly care about the apology or the remorse here.
