Court doesnt erase doctor who groomed underage disabled patient

I remember when this story hit the headlines it was reported in US media also. Essentially a junior doctor groomed an underage disabled patient and did it over a long period of time. At the time the general shock was how has a) this person not been struck off and b) why isnt he in jail?

So now it goes to the highest court in the land and the judge still doesnt erase him! Like for me grooming an underage patient is license revocation no ifs no buts and I dont understand the mentality there that allows 'certain' doctors to get away with such heinous behavior. For sure stateside he would still be in jail.

GP partners ‘must act’ if unprofessional behaviour is reported to them

The irony of this organization saying these things given the discrimination they have dished out to people like Dr Laptop, Bawa Garba and countless other minority doctors in the past is eye watering.

Not sure their idea of having a 'chat' with the individual rather than keeping a paper trail is legally the best thing to do either if going to get that far.

Bypassing residency with a 1 year fellowship - fair?

Was just searching a Gastro dept. in the Midwest US and there was an attending who was an IMG in Europe had done training there and then just a 1 year endoscopy fellowship in the US then landed an attending job here.

Is this fair? I guess they cant get full privileges in the US like private practice etc Maybe its a limited academic job.

Any thoughts on this? GI is probably one of the most competitive branches in the US no one I know who applied for it got it when I did residency in the US and this just seems unfair and a bit of a backdoor route into it.

J1 waiver delays

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/h1b-visa-program-doctors-delays/

Saw that post about the physician on here who had to leave the US due to visa delays and have heard this from other people and it has now made it to mainstream news. This is nothing to do with travel ban etc this is purely the J1 waiver to H1b transition they are slowing down ?deliberately

Am an NYC attending myself and hearing a lot of problems for people generally.

Are new residents getting their J1 approved at the consulates?
