Naas General Hospital Primetime Investigates Dr Aamir Zuberi

Somewhat unfortunate phraseology there

Has the added effect of giving people more reason to mistrust of the medical community at a time like this.

Sick fucker, I hope to God he wasn't unsupervised around minors under anaesthesia.

I wouldn't bank on it ,the Pakistan legal system is worse than a lot of places , corrupted and favours those who are well off ,

In these cases I'd be happy to see the army ranger wing tasked with returning him here , but in saying that if he was brought back by legal means he could declare himself an asylum seeker and were stuck with him

How did the guards know to contact the victim? I mean were there witnesses, video, or did the perpetrator admit to it somehow?

I meant to watch this but missed it. As bad as it sounds, there may have been worse abuse going on in other HSE facilities. We're not talking about ancient history here either. What will happen to the staff who knew about this and did nothing about it?

"At least 18 intellectually disabled residents of a Health Service Executive-run centre in Co Donegal were subjected “to sustained sexual abuse” during a 13-year period with the full knowledge of staff and management, an unpublished investigation has found.

The report documented more than 108 incidents of “devastating” abuse perpetrated on mainly non-verbal adults by another resident, given the pseudonym “Brandon” in the report"

It really makes me question the culture in Irish hospitals. I want to move back to Ireland with my wife in a few years, she works in surgery, if this happened here, in the us, there would be no hesitation in reporting on a senior but somehow in Ireland things still get swept under the carpet. I don't want her working in such an environment to satisfy my desire to come home. At best it doesn't exactly sound collaborative. Is it an Irish thing? We still just defer to authority?

Oh would you ever just f............

I don't think people understand how not worth your career it is to 'challenge the behaviour' of a doctor or consultant if you're a nurse.

Here's a prime example of that from my mum's best friend who was a nurse. The Pakistani consultant she was working with wrote a prescription for a LETHAL dosage of medication on the charts of a child in his care. As a nurse with many years’ experience and someone that took no guff from doctors, she questioned the dosage (the foreign nurses on the ward BTW had this utterly subservient and deferential attitude to doctors, so they wanted to comply with the order and 'not bother him'), so she wrang him. He refused to change the prescription and balled her out about questioning him and speaking to him in an 'argumentative manner'. She then rang the on-call consultant who flipped when he heard what dosage had been prescribed and told her that under no circumstances should a dose like that be administered to a child.

What was the net outcome of this near fatal incompetence on the part of the consultant?

A general letter was sent to the staff on the ward about how to 'appropriately and respectfully' communicate with consultants in a professional manner that was absolutely directed at her. She took early retirement that year.

Quite telling on a story about a doctor sexual abusing patients, that's the post that gets a response from you.

I think we're low on rangers with the requisite complexion needed to fade into the Pakistan background.

And as Ive garnered from other threads on here there is never ever any context where changing ones skin tone to appear as another race is ever acceptable. Ever.

So the Pakistan security forces would see those big Irish heads a mile off, unfortunately.
