Doctors in The Dock

[Dedworth]

Am I being naive in assuming that these foreign doctors are required to take a (high standard) entrance exam before being able to take up employment here, as well as providing checkable references ?

I'm sorry to say it but you are very naive Graham

I'm also a sucker in thinking that this chancer should have faced criminal charges :-

Matters came to a head three months into his contract at Addenbrooke’s, when he was found to have added a colleague’s name to a pathology report without her knowledge. Ten days later he claimed in a different report that another colleague concurred with his findings, when in fact that colleague had made a different diagnosis. When his employers asked how this claim had come to be in the report, Tosounidis suggested that someone else had added it after he had completed his report. Three days after this incident he was dismissed, and a week later Addenbrooke’s reported him to the General Medical Council, citing “concerns about behaviour, competence and probity.”
