GMC fails yet again to protect the public from sub-standard GP

The Telegraph reports that GP Navin Shankar, who had dismissed Nicola Sams' 6 years of irregular bleeding and abdominal pain, which turned out to be the symptoms of terminal cancer, as 'nothing to worry about', has not been removed from the Medical Register. This is despite the GMC's earlier leniency toward this this lamentably sub-standard doctor when he failed to recognise the seriousness of the illness of a nine-day old baby.

Here's a suggestion for the Coalition Government: save a load of money by abolishing the GMC, the partisan Watchdog/Lapdog that routinely protects the interests of its doctor members, rather than the interests and health of patients, which is ostensibly its raison d'être.
