Smart Enough To Be A Nurse...

...but not a mother:
Judge Owens said the woman was a qualified nurse, but had an 'extremely low range' of intellectual inability.
She ruled that the little boy should live with relatives, but said he would be able to stay in touch with his mother.
Think about that for a minute. And then think about this:
It is believed the child was already dead before he was decapitated during the bungled 15 minute delivery.
At the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service in Manchester, consultant Laxman - who qualified in Chennai, India - denied wrongdoing.
Today the service said there was no impairment of Dr Laxman's fitness to practise and cleared her to return to work at another hospital.
And think about both those cases the next time someone's taking out an onion for 'our hardworking and dedicated medical staff'.

What Dr Laxman did, hauling a baby out of an undulated cervix, would not be contemplated by the dullest medical student on their first outing to the delivery room., it is so wrong.

And we put up with these part trained medical staff 'working' in the NHS rather than train our own as we did in the 50s and 60s.

Makes me wonder, like 'anon', just where she trained.
