1. DR CONVICT
More than 1,000 doctors with criminal convictions
still allowed to practice

This story says that 1067 workers of medical
practice have amounted to over 1181 crimes
between them.
Now while this is a disgusting truth of our society, I
kind of understand why the legal system is being
forgiven. After all, a lot of these doctors have
probably saved more lives than they’ve ruined.
And yes, they shouldn’t be ruining any at all but in
a world where one of the indicators of a countries
quality of life is how many citizens there are per
doctor, it’s possible we can’t afford to lose many. I
believe certain crimes should be left with a
warning such as petty thievery but some of the
crimes that doctor’s have been let off with are
unforgivable. Taking indecent pictures of children
is one such case and I think anybody can agree no
matter what good a person has done, that needs
to be punished.
51 doctors were convicted in 2016 but compared
to two years ago where only 13 were convicted,
there’s still a lot of progress to be made.
This story comes under the representation of
issues.
