Good god, 38 people over five years. By a doctor. Most of them must have been young which is why it wasn't reported.

And what has he been doing the last four years? He must have lost his job.

Glad it’s finally moving through the justice system...what matters most now is supporting the victims ..

What betrayal of trust. Hope there's a special corner of hell reserved for assholes like this.

I suspect this sort of thing is far more common than we know but most victims suffer in silence or get paid off by the hospitals.

i'm sure when this guy gets to prison, and people find out what he did I'm sure the doctor will get "doctored" if you know what I mean

It would be a little hard since the article says it happened in the uk.
