@CiCi87 I understood what you meant when you said you couldn't accept a pen, I thought it was obvious that you meant from sales reps etc. but maybe that's because I've some experience with it.

I don't believe a GP should be advertising ANYTHING relating to health except to refer people to official guidelines, HSE website, dietician's advice etc. I don't believe it's ethical and it certainly would make me question her ethics. That's my opinion and I think doctors should be held to a higher standard than Gemma Collins or Pippa O'Connor.

I think most people know there are restrictions around what gifts can be accepted by medical professionals, whether they have direct experience of it or not. There are similar rules in many other professions including my own. The statement still wasn’t factually correct.

I’m sure Doireann is familiar with the rules, I’ve yet to see anyone specify exactly what rules she is breaking. I’m interested in seeing it in black and white as opposed to people’s opinions on it. Maybe those in the know could provide a link?
 
You're just being obtuse and you know exactly what people mean, the same way that you knew exactly what CiCi meant.

I know that for me it's important that someone in her position sticks to the rules (that's the law in her job) but I'd actually judge her more in her ethics and behaviour (tweeting fat people queuing for donuts equals fat people queueing for COVID tests, for example).
That's my opinion now so you won't find that in the rulebook.

Well for a start, doctors aren’t supposed to engage in fraud or deception. Do you honestly believe Doireann is drinking those crappy energy drinks?

She was also driving a free car for a long time before she declared it was a freebie. And if that’s not bad enough for you, she also used a charity for sick children to promote herself. You don’t need a law degree to know how disgustingly morally wrong that is

People are more than entitled to their opinions on her but there is a blurring of the lines between opinion and facts on this thread. That is my opinion. Making statements that are not correct isn’t helpful, some people might believe them.
 
I can’t imagine Doireann would be so open about her paid partnerships etc if there was an issue? I’m guessing she would have checked with the ICGP/IMO before engaging in such strong social media advertising? Surely someone would have reported her if there was an issue?

Suppose it's the same blurring that Doireann does, she skates a bit close to the wind too with her ethics. Except on here we're just a bunch of nobody's but she's a medical professional with a massive following, I absolutely see your point :)

Well we’re all anonymous here so who knows who is lurking. I just don’t think it’s any morally better for people to be stating that she is breaking rules if she isn’t. I agree with the poster above you said she probably checked it out to make sure she didn’t. I agree that she hasn’t covered herself in glory with her past actions but that’s still different to breaking any specific rules.

doctors are held to a higher standard. I think the medical council needs to wake up to this!

Completely off topic but did you see in y/day post - info on the rowing machine was corved by an icon /emoji . Mins are not to be seen

saw That and immediately thought of here !
She needs to be questioned on the deleted competition post. Doireann what are you at ? You thought you were popular enough that you would have a huge success like Rosie Connolly for your raffle and that it would boost your profile didn’t you!
 
Her post today.. Instead of admitting she saved the story like a normal decent person and uploaded later, she said she thought it was Tuesday. The phone automatically knows the day you clown if it was posted live. Seriously how are people like her doctors. We're a lot smarter than you anyway pet.

Also... Can't believe what I'm reading in relation to the charity/competition. She needs to be called out on it.
 
She’s very 1950 isn’t she... yes we need people to push cervical smears I’m all for it. But she never talks about male cancer issues or male fertility or male contraception unless she’s pushing the snip... I would not like to be a patient of hers as I find her thinking a little dated!! The raffle needs to be called out maybe I’ll message the charity page
