A health profession watchdog has scrutinised how many times a doctor struck a “grizzly” infant patient after being bitten, and the level of force used. The doc…

A disciplinary tribunal dismissed the charge? Righto, so it's fine to smack a baby if it bites you first. Farcical.
ffs, we all know the difference between a pat and a strike. Don't be dense.
Bloody joke of a system. Doctor pats a kid firmly and three nurses cry foul? Bet they've never dealt with a feral toddler on a bad day.
stuffed mate. Three nurses said the same thing. That's not a coincidence.
I mean, being bitten hurts but you're a doctor, ffs. You have to keep your cool. Not saying he's a monster but this doesn't look great.
Exactly. My kid bites me all the time, a pat on the back is nothing.

yeah nah whatever. If my kid bit someone and they tapped them on the back I wouldn't care.
I dunno, I think there's a line. But anyway tribunal said no case, so whatever.
So we're just letting doctors hit patients now? Great precedent. Get stuffed.
Read it three times and still not sure what actually happened. Pat? Smack? Either way, tribunal said it's fine. Move on.
Nurses probably have it out for the doc. Seen it before. Mob mentality.
I've worked with nurses, they don't all gang up for no reason.
What a load of shit. Infant bites, doctor strikes, no consequences.
Everyone's so quick to judge. The doctor has been dealing with a grizzly infant all day. A firm pat on the back is not abuse.
doesn't make it right to hit a baby. Unbelievable some of you.
Lol the comments are already a war zone. I'll just sit here with my popcorn.
Right? This whole thread is cooked.
