KATE GRANGER DANGER?
In an interview Kate Granger, the SR who has become the chief advocate of the Liverpool Care Pathway in the UK media has admitted stockpiling enough drugs at her home to commit suicide.
She said:
"I would seriously contemplate suicide instead, even though it goes against everything I pledged when I became a doctor. I have already stockpiled enough appropriate drugs in the house to make sure this would be successful, but hope it won’t come to it."
Halfway down her article at: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-2211442/I-want-enjoy-days--waste-having-chemo-Doctor-Kate-Granger-tells-shes-stopped-treatment-prolong-life.html#ixzz2Gvu5EDLK
This means either
a) that the controlled drugs policy in Pinderfields Hospital, Wakefield is not compliant with law, OR
b) that the LCP 'Just in Case' boxes they put in peoples homes to be used by the GP or district nurses DO contain enough drug to kill.
Is a doctor who has stockpiled drugs to commit suicide really fit to practice, GMC?
