Don’t know how to respond to this in any meaningful way without seeming incentivise
Slightly more to it if you read the article.
It was a stream of belittling comments about her weight.
Great idea to employ paramedics in jobs they are not at all trained for. Not saying this couldn’t ever happen with a proper GP; but it is shockingly bad.
>The name of the GP practice where he was employed has not been disclosed.
Oh well that’s reassuring, especially when you read the long list of patients he’s bullied, particularly very young children and severely depressed patients.
The GP practice gets off totally scott free, washes it’s hands, ready to rehire another 1:1 copy of that, to put it politely, very very sick individual, because hey, if the next one is lucky enough to get caught as well then happy days if the GP practice is shielded from taking responsibility.
Inspired by our Prime Minister perhaps?
Edit: Loving the instant downvotes, charming to see so many members of this sub having zero sympathy towards unwell kids and self harming people in favour of a ‘practice’ that is too cowardly to show itself. This sub becomes even more impressive by the minute 👏
Started off sceptical about the judgement, but if you read the article, the word ‘after’ is doing some quite heavy lifting in that headline, it’s a pattern of behaviour to multiple people, and there was something unrelated which got the paramedic suspended previously.
It’s already a bit shit if paramedics are holding appointments instead of GPs, but if they’re sarcastic as well and overconfident, and taking calls instead of seeing people in person, that is altogether a dangerous combination.
I think people should be able to go back through training though and come back, it’s not like lying or serious criminality which would make them constitutionally unfit to practice.
Very click-bait headline. He wasn’t struck off just for that. He had a history of making inappropriate comments to patients and had been reprimanded previously.

Worth reading the article before commenting- he has advice for all types of patients whether they wanted it or not – quite unpleasant
The patient was 14 years old.
In addition:
> It came after he met with a patient identified only as Service User D, who confided in the professional that she had taken up smoking in order to stop her self-harming.
> Mr Goodey then told the young woman “self-harming won’t kill you but smoking will”
Headline deliberately engineered for clicks/engagement, and here I am engaging with it.
Paramedics are great in an emergency, they are trained for life or death situations, not for patients at the GP surgery with minor complaints.
It’s right he was fired, but if they don’t implement actual training in addressing non-emergency patients, I imagine this won’t be the end of it.
He’s right. And it’s costing the NHS billions. Downvote if you like chips, chips and more chips.
Not even remotely surprised it’s Suffolk.
We have some truly disgusting and insensitive medical staff around here. If he doesn’t have the empathy to be kind to people then why did he choose to work a profession that requires that? Has several complaints against him for saying awful things, so he deserves to be struck off. Total asshole.
