Greg 'gotta bury the body' Malham also practised for years at Epworth. To me, the obvious next question is- how many other surgeons at Epworth are 'open secrets' to their colleagues? 🤔

Doctor who committed lewd act at work party is suspended for a year A consultant pathologist has been suspended from the UK medical register for 12 months after spilling beer on a junior female colleague’s cleavage at a work party and licking it off her breasts. Mark...

'...spilling beer on a junior female colleague’s cleavage at a work party and licking it off her breasts' is... quite the opening sentence 😱.

May we all be like Mrs Vinnicombe, who 'shouted 'what the f**k are you doing' at Dr Johnson.'

This is timely as the working group for the 10-year update of @racsurgeons.bsky.social Operate With Respect gets under way.

If we talk about #TheStandardWeWalkPast we also need to look at what forces people to 'walk past'.

Where's the #PsychologicalSafety- and ACTUAL safety- to speak up? 🤔

Fiji director of rugby sacked after 'gay problem' comment Fiji has fired director of rugby Laijipa Naulivou, a former women's national team captain, after she said there was a "gay problem" in a newspaper interview.

My question is, if her homophobic stance has been well known since her player days, how has she had such a long career, eventually being appointed to the director role? This says more about the organisational culture. 👀

Sickening secret: truth about two elite athletes finally exposed. Both of these men come from privileged, wealthy families. Both were elite athletes. And both escaped major punishment for rape.

Of those found guilty of a sex offence in Australia 2010-2020, only 52.6% received a jail sentence.

Nearly 1 in 2, just merrily walking free back out of court...

Why are so many women being murdered? Because we let people get away with rape. #TheStandardWeWalkPast 😠

'I'm sorry, I only meant to disparage a woman's appearance within a private workplace, not on air' is not an apology. Imagine what message this sends to women colleagues of Jon Wertheim🎾, who now also know their employer- the network- presumably also OK'ed this 'apology'. 😖

Important point from Dr Laura Hipple at #RCOG2024- we learn a lot at medical school about how to deal with patients, but next to nothing about how to deal with workplace colleagues. And so, we often walk past it, and this creates a permissive culture. #TheStandardWeWalkPast
