Did events have an adverse affect on the McCann's careers?

The question of breaking any laws was not determined until several months after Madeleine disappeared if I recall correctly and as I previously posted, it was only then determined by the Attorney General in his Archive Report.  During that period the uncertainty of what was about to happen must have been extremely concerning for Madeleine's parents since a child neglect related conviction would have destroyed their careers back in the UK.  My personal view is that they were extremely lucky to get away with a social workers review of their circumstances.

Judging by the criminals who still practice as doctors I would agree to not destroy. It could have an impact on career progression though.

Well the events certainly destroyed one of their careers without being charged so one can only but imagine what impact it would have had on the others had things progressed further.

I think reputation is a big driving factor, a couple from humble backgrounds working hard to become doctors are probably concerned about anything that could cast a shadow over their social rise.

It makes you wonder then why they didn't slink away into the shadows once the initial investigation was over and emigrate somewhere where their name and faces were less recognizable, like Canada or New Zealand, doesn't it...?  Instead they chose to remain in the spotlight to highlight their child's disappearance, irrespective of the fact that a sizeable proportion of the GBP appeared (if online commentary is to be taken as representative) to find them utterly beyond the pale.

Perhaps they had no choice after claiming abduction.

For if there was no abduction losing their jobs would be the least of their problems.

So do you think everyone from humble beginnings love their reputations more than their children?  Or is that just the McCanns?    Can you suggest anything from their lives before that holiday which even hinted they were social climbers.     According to people who knew them - they were just normal loving parents - who rarely went out once they had a family.

Peddling to work on a pushbike as Gerry does - hardly seems to fit in with a desperate desire to be recognised 'socially'  - a craving for which  (according to some)  - is so important to them that they wouldn't think twice about getting rid of one of their children - if they inconveniently got in the way of their  'progress' up the social ladder.

I've never heard such nonsense  -and as usual not a shred of evidence to support it.

why do you assume I'm being bitchy or making barbed comments? I think you're being over-sensitive and seeing slights where none exist.

Doctors are assumed to be intelligent, so they would surely consider different scenarios when considering a locum application. I can easily imagine a situation where a patient being offered childcare advice by this doctor may have little or no faith in her opinions.

If Kate & Gerry McCann, after being investigated by police and social services, are considered responsible enough to look after their own children, I see no reason why they would not also be considered responsible enough to continue in their chosen careers following the disappearance of Madeleine McCann.  There's always the possibility that some sanctimonious, unpleasant person would use the opportunity of a consultation with either parent to berate them for their actions in PdL, but that's life I guess - you're always going to run into the odd tosser now and again.

She has never worked as a doctor since Madeleine disappeared so her career has for all intents and purposes gone.  Just put yourself in her position for a moment, a GP in any community is supposed to lead by example...need I say any more?

Yet it allowed her to continue practising,

Perhaps you should look up cases where criminal behaviour and warnings were given to the GMC, but they took no action, in some cases when it was too late, as with Shipman and T. Healy.

I’m sure Gerry’s approach is healthier, but I reacted differently. With Madeleine constantly in my head, trying to return to my old life would have felt to me as if I were somehow pushing her to one side, and I simply couldn’t do it. It has been essential that Madeleine, and the rest of my family, remain my priority and I wanted to be around more for Sean and Amelie than would have been possible had I returned to general practice. I wonder, too, if I’d actually be able to cope with it now. All GPs have a handful of patients who present with comparatively trivial problems. In view of what I’ve been through, and am going through still, I’d be concerned I wouldn’t have quite the sympathetic ear I once possessed. And I’m sure some of my patients would undoubtedly find it awkward dealing with me, too.

On a practical level, there has been too much to do in any case, especially more recently. Although I have been blessed with plenty of willing helpers, even handling the mail is virtually a full-time job, and some projects, such as analysing the PJ files once they were released to us, have involved months of work.

Probably not. She has a new life and new career. All has worked out well, some people would just grieve for years, quietly, with dignity. Like The Moors parents. They KNEW something horrific befell their children. McCANNS are convinced Maddie is going to walk through the door any day... after being lovingly looked after by kindly people...Of course they will sell the rights to that story to Disney!  Or is there already a film called 'happy ever after'?

G.Ps sit on the "secret squirrel" committees that deal with children at risk and the associated register.


Also with the new community partnerships they write reports about parental fitness of people who are seeking children up for adoption/foster care and social service referrals on medical evidence regarding the mental state of children who may be at risk.  They look for 'signs' of abuse.. a harmless fall by a child has ended up children being removed from their families.  They also have a heavy influence regarding mental health state and prescribed drugs etc.  Can you imagine Kate calling anyone  an unfit parent? can you imagine her having a say on someones mental health her being a known person who has suffered depression herself? and as for children at risk?  she wouldn't have a clue on that one.

GP's have a thourough child protection remit. They can be the first port of call by a concerned member of the family - or they can notify social services or paediatricians of suspected abuse. For Kate to claim they felt safe leaving their children alone with an unlocked door is just piffle! SHE knows what Health AND Safety risks are.

I doubt very much if the McCann's believe that Madeleine will walk through the door any day.   They don't know what has befallen Madeleine,  no doubt they hope she is still alive and maybe has been illegally adopted,  but they are intelligent people and are in my opinion have always been bracing themselves for the worse scenario.
 
As to the film,  well there was a film about Elizabeth Smart not a Disney production though,  more of a harrowing story of what Elizabeth had gone through and the parents,  as the father was under suspicion.

I really can't believe how posters like you can be so flippant about a missing child.

Unfortunately for Kate her career required daily contact with the public as a GP, Gerry on the other hand has the luxury of choosing who he has contact with.   In addition, it was Kate who generated most controversy, those unanswered questions, the alleged deal with the PJ and the book supposedly authored by her in which she demonizes several serving officers in the Portuguese police.   Given that history I feel a return to any job in a public service will be fraught with difficulty.

Madeleine by K Mccann

Most GP's know that their patients are as varied as all human beings. Some won't go to their GP at any cost, others present with 'trivial problems'. A good GP  finds out why. It may be they're worried about their health and need reassurance, it may be that they're lonely and need human contact. Quite often it's a cry for help of some kind. Kate doesn't seem to have understood that.

There is no need to twist her words, they're quite clear. I'm not a GP but I'm able to think of underlying reasons why people might go to their GP with a 'trivial problem'. She seems unaware that there could be deeper reasons or she wouldn't have used that example. Some problems are obvious and serious, others are more complex.

Events in Portugal had a shattering effect on the lives of the McCann family.

When they arrived in Portugal there were five of them.  When they left for home there were four.  Their eldest daughter was missing without trace.  They didn't know where in the world she was.  They didn't know whether she was dead or alive.

Whether or not that had an adverse affect on their careers probably meant very little indeed indeed to them.  What business it is of those who have claimed every trivial aspect of their lives for public scrutiny?

Such obsession with meddling in other people's private and professional lives is more than intrusive.

What they have done in their careers is actually nobody's business.

Whether or not that had an adverse affect on their careers probably meant very little indeed indeed to them.  What business it is of those who have claimed every trivial aspect of their lives for public scrutiny?

Such obsession with meddling in other people's private and professional lives is more than intrusive.

What they have done in their careers is actually nobody's business.

Self imposed by two irresponsible parents, who exhibited no common sense at all.

Locked the apartment during daytime, left it open at night.

You have twisted her words...Kate is talking about a handful...half a dozen...out of a list of probably 2 to 3 thousand...the pateints who continually waste doctors time

It's part of the job. All heathcare personnel have to deal with this problem; 999 operators, A & E staff. If she feels unable to cope with it she's done the right thing. Being unsympathetic or impatient would have been unacceptable.

didn't say it wasn't...and she has done the right thing. There are many doctors who are unsympathetic and impatient...so do you think they should all stop practising. We certainly would be short of doctors then...you seem to expect perfection..it doesn't exist.

So a depressed person who keeps presenting with trivial problems as a cry for help wouldn't have a hope in hell of being helped by 'many' doctors in your opinion? There wouldn't be any 'life saving' going on if the patient gave up and harmed themselves in those cases, would there? Mental health is just as important as physical health.

I will return to the topic then by saying that Kate McCann probably made the right decision to cease her locum GP work as she admits she no longer is able to offer the sympathetic ear needed by patients whose problems she classifies (possibly wrongly) as 'trivial'.

and I will correct you by saying kate was only talking about a handful of patients. Having said that it is a very demanding job with an incredible amount of responsibility so it is not surprising that kate may find it difficult to cope with after her trauma. Fortunately I think most of the public are sympathetic...unlike some on here

The exact quote is...

Quote
All GPs have a handful of patients who present with comparatively trivial problems. In view of what I’ve been through, and am going through still, I’d be concerned I wouldn’t have quite the sympathetic ear I once possessed. And I’m sure some of my patients would undoubtedly find it awkward dealing with me, too.

So G-units statement didn't need correcting.

Kate's words actually demonstrate how caring and compassionate she is towards her patients by revealing that she didn't feel that in the circumstances she would be able to offer the sympathetic ear they all deserve, so for their sakes as much as hers she decided to withdraw from GP work, yet somehow G-Unit has used Kate's admission as ammunition for yet more criticism of the woman.  Let's face it, there's nothing Kate can say or do that won't attract snide remarks from some people.

Once again you omit any thought or mention of the person/s responsible for invading the McCann apartment and abducting Madeleine.  Obviously criminals do not merit the same ire the victims of their crime attract.
I wonder if he or she or them just picked up from where they left off in their careers? ... ever given that a moments thought? ... they've certainly been given a get out of jail free card by the people who have been expressing many of the sentiments espoused by you.

I disagree, she demonstrates a cold lack of empathy for people who she has deemed fit to diagnose as 'trivial'.  She is obviously very full of herself to think she is the only person to experience pain or mental torture.

 I know a  young GP who has been working while being treated for cancer, has three lovely children, and has been given maybe a year to live. She also tends to and empathises with patients who are lonely and seek help for psychosomatic pain. or trivial incidents as Kate would call them. Kate comes across as narcissistic and cruel. The Surgery is better off with out her type!

In the immediate aftermath of Madeleine's disappearance it is my opinion she would have been in no fit state to return to practice.
What she and her whole family has suffered is worse than a bereavement.

There is nothing to prevent her working as a GP in the future.  For the past few years all her energies have been concentrated on raising her twins and working on promoting Madeleine's case in which she has achieved the impossible by getting it reopened.

I absolutely applaud her decision regarding her medical career ... and confess to total bemusement why it is an issue for some people.

Have your demons gone yet Alfred? You tell 'em!

Kate also acknowledged that some patients may have a problem with her. She probably thought they would be embarrassed at her suffering. Given her lack of judgement I would have a problem if she was my GP.

What does accusing a grieving couple of causing the death of their own daughter, covering up the 'fact' of her death and launching a fraudulent fund in their dead daughter's name have to do with "honesty"?

And talking of grandfathers, Amaral accused Madeleine's of accusing the McCanns of sedating their daughter.  Mr Healy never did.

Of course. Totally agree. But, others obviously have the freedom to take you to task for it. Personally the sympathy card is quite effective on me, because I certainly don't claim to know the truth - ultimately I end up just going with my instinct and I still don't pretend to know really. I tend to side with the McCanns, because i'd like to give them the benefit of the doubt and personally if they are innocent I don't want to be on here lambasting them all the time. One thing I will say is that it is extremely hard to connect the McCanns with the disappearance of their daughter when you have a sighting across town, when Gerry was supposedly elsewhere and then collecting the body in that environment days later and going on a roadtrip. It's the basic logistics that I think are very hard to reconcile. Conversely it also hard to describe the abduction, but there a few ways I can think of and of course it only happened one way. When all is said and done I'm loosing hope that we will see a result.

Was he elsewhere though? When Kate alerted if it was earlier say 9.50 there is a chance it could be Gerry I suppose and basically no chance any later say 10pm given the Smith timing and we have witnesses placing Gerry at the table when the alert happened and then more witnesses shortly after. Whatever he needed to do the man would have to sprint as time was so tight and dumping a body, which will not be found is no easy task.

Was he elsewhere though? When Kate alerted if it was earlier say 9.50 there is a chance it could be Gerry I suppose and basically no chance any later say 10pm given the Smith timing and we have witnesses placing Gerry at the table when the alert happened and then more witnesses shortly after. Whatever he needed to do the man would have to sprint as time was so tight and dumping a body, which will not be found is no easy task.

If Smithman is our phantom stranger abductor, why should time be tight? He was well away from the immediate search area when the alarm was raised.

Sure, but we have another witness at about 10.10-15 if i'm not mistaken and apparently Gerry was initially inside the apartment. Very tight to basically sprint to wherever the body is and then carry that body to an undisclosed location and effectively conceal it well enough to be confident that it could not be found with no local knowledge... 10 mins in which to do the job? He'd be like a headless chicken imo... Also does not a change of clothing factor into this theory?

This might have been largely luck and could have been moved later when few, if any, people were about.  All Smithman ( whoever he was) had to do was get a small body  away and concealed in an unlikely place where she was unlikely to have wandered to

Whatever one thinks or feels is their own business, honesty and freedom of expression and thought is never a crime, many have died defending it, probably some of the usual suspects fathers or grandfathers, or a right to be trampled on, what is bizarre is people demanding sympathy,emoaghy and respect....and if its not forthcoming you are another bogey man....its controlfreakery and people who demand it have the brass neck to criticise organisations like ISIL...maybe a shopping trip to the nearest glaziers might not go amiss

Do you think everyone at the table was deliberately lying then Faith  - including senior citizen Diane Webster?   

Do you really think Fiona would actually encourage her own mother, the grandmother of her children to become an accessory to a heinous crime and perjure herself to the police - knowing she could end up being arrested in a foreign country - with her husband left on his own back in the UK.      IIRC it was DW who told the police that when Kate shouted that Madeleine had gone - it was  Gerry who said 'No she can't have' (or words to that effect).

Sorry that makes no sense to me.    No daughter would allow their own mother to put themselves at such enormous risk by lying for anyone at all - let alone people her mum hardly knew.

Faithlilly has already stated that she rejects the idea of a conspiracy involving the whole Tapas group, but perhaps she has now changed her mind.

No I don't Benice. I believe that everyone was truthful when they reported Gerry being at the table at the time of the alarm. Unfortunately they were not asked specifically about the time of the Smith sighting.

No-one knew about the Smith sighting until a fortnight after the event.  Wonder how that would have played out if Jane Tanner had suddenly remembered seeing Tannerman at that remove.

Quote from: Alfred R Jones on September 27, 2015, 02:46:04 PM
So, based on Rob and the Tapas Restaurant staff testimonies the alarm can't have been raised any later than 10pm right?
Quote
Pathfinder: No way - he only had a couple of bites of his steak when Kate came running.

"He was about to serve the respective plate he was told to hold the food back for a few minutes, and that it was about 15 minutes before the guest (Russell) returned, at about 21.45. Dinner would end at about 21.45, a few minutes later the witness looked at the table and saw that there was nobody there and one of his colleagues told them that all the guests had left the table in a hurry. In any case, he remembers having heard shouts from the direction of Madeleine's parents' apartment."

Hmmmm!

I guess we need to tie down our definition of freedom.

People are free to express whatever views come without legal sanction (civil or criminal).

In Portugal, opinions, proven untrue (Portuguese civil libel law) that traduce reputation or lower standing violate their laws.

Amaral said Eddie "sniffed cadaver scent" all over the place, when neither Harrison nor Grime said the same (and, indeed, Harrison expressly said no incriminating inference could be drawn from the reactions of the dogs). 

Amaral said Madeleine fell off a sofa after being overdosed with calpol and died.  There is not a shred of evidence to support that canard.

Amaral accused the McCanns of launching a fraudulent fund in their (dead) daughter's name, and the Madeleine accounts are in apple-pie order.

Amaral accused the McCanns of hiding the body of their (dead!) daughter.  There is not a shred of evidence to support the contention. 

People are not free to disseminate falsehoods (at most charitable); lies (at worst); neither by the Portuguese constitution, nor by Portuguese libel laws

So that is all highly likely to be why Amaral has lost the libel trial.
