Rumours that Doc Reid has called it a day (Doc Larkins)

Is it medical negligence if the players had legal prescriptions to receive the treatment.

Talk to Michael Jackson

Oh wait...

just in relation to the bolded part jenny, i said in another post that if he was prescribing (what turned out to be) banned substances in the context of the WADA code as it applies to professional sportsmen etc, then i think he would be guilty. could definitely be a breach of duty of care.

Dont know those drugs can be legally prescribed by a medical officer. So watching injectable items being put into healthy players is just unfathomable to me as another clinician . Has he never heard of clinical oversight and goveranance.

Terrible doctor. He has sworn the Hippocratic Oath. Turning a blind eye to what was going on is thw worst thing he could have done as a doctor.

Apollo Physician and Asclepius and Hygieia and Panacea and all the gods and goddesses, making them my witnesses, that I will fulfill according to my ability and judgment this oath and this covenant: To hold him who has taught me this art as equal to my parents and to live my life in partnership with him, and if he is in need of money to give him a share of mine, and to regard his offspring as equal to my brothers in male lineage and to teach them this art — if they desire to learn it — without fee and covenant; to give a share of precepts and oral instruction and all the other learning to my sons and to the sons of him who has instructed me and to pupils who have signed the covenant and have taken an oath according to the medical law, but to no one else. I will apply dietetic measures for the benefit of the sick according to my ability and judgment; I will keep them from harm and injustice. I will neither give a deadly drug to anybody if asked for it, nor will I make a suggestion to this effect. Similarly I will not give to a woman an abortive remedy. In purity and holiness I will guard my life and my art. I will not use the knife, not even on sufferers from stone, but will withdraw in favor of such men as are engaged in this work. Whatever houses I may visit, I will come for the benefit of the sick, remaining free of all intentional injustice, of all mischief and in particular of sexual relations with both female and male persons, be they free or slaves. What I may see or hear in the course of the treatment or even outside of the treatment in regard to the life of men, which on no account one must spread abroad, I will keep to myself holding such things shameful to be spoken about. If I fulfill this path and do not violate it, may it be granted to me to enjoy life and art, being honored with fame among all men for all time to come; if I transgress it and swear falsely, may the opposite of all this be my lot.[4] English translation, version 2

If I fulfill this path and do not violate it, may it be granted to me to enjoy life and art, being honored with fame among all men for all time to come; if I transgress it and swear falsely, may the opposite of all this be my lot.[4]

Will live the rest of his life in disgrace... and deserves it!
forty young men will be struck off with infractions from ASADA/WADA in November and will live with the potential health risks for the rest of their lives and all this guy can say is "**** off".. and "want to clear my name".
Dr Bruce Reid YOU **** off!!...cop your whack!
