Subject: Corrupt General Practitioner
An article in the Guardian of Monday April 29th gave details of a GP who spent 20 years indecently assaulting female patients. He was jailed in December 2000. However the trial failed to answer why he wasn't stopped years ago. Reading on I came to a paragraph the gist of which is as follows. He was interviewed in 1993 by the clinical director who told him that patients had complained that he had rubbed himself against their thighs and got an errection. The GP claimed that it was not his penis but a large bunch of keys which he then produced from his pocket. Although disgusted at the man's behaviour, God forgive me, I couldn't help but laugh as the famous quotation from Mae West popped into my mind, "Is that a gun in your pocket, or are you just pleased to see me?" now updated for the 21st century as "Is that a bunch of keys in your pocket, or are you just pleased to see me?"
