Doctor who spoke to patients about the Devil given warning

Dr Richard Scott, 51, a former missionary doctor, "crossed the line" during the consultation because of his deep religious convictions and pushed his faith on the "psychologically disturbed" patient which left him distressed, the General Medical Council (GMC) ruled.

But the GP branded the four-day hearing a "charade" and questioned why the GMC had pursued the case when his accuser had initially refused to give evidence and then only did so over the telephone with the public and press banned from the hearing room.

The father-of-three, from Margate, Kent, said: "I think the judgment had been made in advance, whatever happened. The GMC was determined that I was to get a warning. This has effectively been a four-day charade.

"The panel has chosen to believe a patient with massive and multiple problems against a doctor of 28 years' standing, embedded in his local community with hundreds of testimonials from other patients of his.

The last paragraph says it all! Support fot the GMC by the National Secular society. The question that arises is: "When did Gloria Alred obtain a Law Licence and start to practice in the UK?" The GMC chooses a rather strange way to prove it is not "Anti Christian!"

  A spokesman for the National Secular Society said: "We welcome the GMC's determination making it clear that doctors – whether religious or not – must set aside their own personal beliefs and not evangelise when treating patients, far less suggest that they adopt a different belief. Doing so needlessly puts patients in a difficult position."
  
  It only says this group agreed with the decision. It does not say the National Secular society was involved in any other way.

What a nightmare for that doctor. I hope he has a good support system to help him.

He will be blessed and ultimately vindicated.

I very seriously doubt that Dr. Scott "pushed" his faith on anybody. To the liberal anti-GOD set, if the hated name JESUS is spoken, to them it means we are shoving it down their throat. Imagine, just the word "JESUS" can throw them into a frenzy. It is unbelievable that HIS name is deemed by them to mean HATE, which causes the frenzy, when their demons react.

Romans 14:11-12
11. For it is written, As I live, saith the LORD, every knee shall bow to
12. So then every one of us shall give account of himself to GOdme, ad every tongue shall confess to GOD

Phil. 2:19-11
9. Wherefore GOD also, has highly exalted HIM, and given HIM a name which is above every name:
10. That at the name of JESUS every knee should bow,of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
11. And that every tongue should confess that JESUS CHRIST IS LORD TO THE GLORY OF GOD THE FATHER.

  After the hearing, Dr Scott said he remained unbowed and the ruling would not stop him using his faith in work.
  
  "I will continue to raise the issue of faith, in particular Christianity, where relevant in consultations in the future, because it is for the patient's benefit."
  
  He admits he uses his religion in his medical practice, but of course, it would always be done in the exact right way. After all, how could a Christian make a mistake?
  - Dionesius3
    
    He is much less likely to make a mistake than you Dix, because he is sane whereas your not.

      Has Satan indoctrinated you you as his disciple, yet. He should, you are doing such a fine job for him.
      
      According this liberal rule if you breathe the name JESUS you have broken a law. This country is in big trouble, with GOD and GOD knows exactly ho to handle it, the evil cannot continue. Dix is a mistake HE will do something when the time is right.

        Myths do not do anything, let alone indoctrinate anyone.
        
        The story was in England, not the USA.

        Dodo you are you foolishness is a myth and for dumb only soon to be erased from this plane.

        Goodness, you can really butcher a sentence when you get riled up.
  - SeaDragon
    
    Of course he could make a mistake. A doctor is human. Doctors make life and death decisions all the time, and they DO make mistakes that KILL. At least this decision does not kill you. Furthermore, how can telling the Patient about the hope of Christ be bad for them? I'm sure that if he had been teaching Islam no-one would have had the … guts to call him on it, and THAT could hurt them.

    May GOD BLESS Dr. Scott, he sounds like a wonderful doctor, man and Christian. I'd vote for him any day!

So as long as he would speak about UFOs and their sightings as bunch of wackos do including in this porfession that is OK for you and for his practice but not His faith? You cannot escape your double standards resulting from your irrational and emotional bias Dodo Schizo.
- http://rationalresponses.blogspot.com/ Jeff Dixon
  
  Humpty, UFO's have no place in the conversation either, unless the patient is the one who believes they are seeing them. Then the doctor should help with that delusion.
  
  But when the doctor is the one with the delusion, then the patient is in trouble.
  - Despeville
    
    Dodo that is just empty talk from you. Somehow I think that you would have no problem with doctor speaking about that or about new age nonsense. You are biased and dumb.
    - http://rationalresponses.blogspot.com/ Jeff Dixon
      
      Then you once again show how absurd you are. I have never once advocated for UFO's or new age mumbo jumbo. I place my support for science. I always have and I always will. Science is what saved my sons life when he was hit by a car while riding a bike. It saved my dads life when he had a heart attack.

        Dodo,
        
        I am not saying that you advocate UFOs as a valid subject. I am saying that you do tolerate and who knows maybe you were even interested in SETI project and certainly would entertain some of that. So in the end you are double speak biased dumbo even more.
        
        I am glad that the Lord allow your son and your father to live. Praise His name.
      - http://rationalresponses.blogspot.com/ Jeff Dixon
        
        The SETI project and what doctors should be discussing with their patients are two unrelated topics, Humpty. You never fail to make an absurd comment even more ridiculous with your further ramblings on the issue.

        They are not imbecile.
      - http://rationalresponses.blogspot.com/ Jeff Dixon
        
        Of course they are. SETI is not just about UFO's, it is about doing a systematic look for signs of intelligence in the universe. That is hardly the same as looking for little green men in Utah. Goodness, how do you even tie your shoes in the morning? Or are you a slipper all day kind of guy?

I have been going to a Evangelical "Christian" doctor for 12 years who was an elder in the Church and he never ever spoke about faith despite me going that direction. That is a sad reality of how cold and many times fake these people are despite their veneer of faith.
- http://rationalresponses.blogspot.com/ Jeff Dixon
  
  It is a reality that the doctor prefers to offer medical advice that can actually help.
  - Joe Anzilotti
    
    Insofar as Jesus is the Master Physician, He should be brought to bear whenever issues of the mind and body are troubling the soul. He would really make a wonderful difference for you mind Jeff.
    - http://rationalresponses.blogspot.com/ Jeff Dixon
      
      Insofar as you have no basis for stating that Jesus is the master of anything, your comment is meaningless.
      - Joe Anzilotti
        
        Let me see, Jeff. Here is your chance. How would you have helped this troubled young man of 24–who has his mother telling him what to do (that is in the article BTW)? Would you have sent him to Dawkins or Hawking? The one with no reason behind anything or the one with the big bang behind everything? Show me how you would help this troubled soul. I really want to hear it.
      - http://rationalresponses.blogspot.com/ Jeff Dixon
        
        Another idiotic question from the king of the Luddites. I am not a doctor nor do I know what his problem is. He needed medical advice. That is only what the doctor should have provided.
      - Despeville
        
        But you would not mind if he would talk about new age, UFOs or astral projection?
        Yes or no Dodo.
      - http://rationalresponses.blogspot.com/ Jeff Dixon
        
        I already answered your question once, Humpty. I said it had no place in the conversation. So, yes, I would object that.
  - Joe Anzilotti
    
    At any rate, I think that Dr. Scott was earnestly trying to help this 24 year old "man" who is still allowing his mother to tell him when to go to the restroom Jeff. Coming to Jesus would have, and could set him free. Something of course, that you don't understand either. The clinic was expressly Christian! Maybe he should have gone to the expressly Atheist Clinic down the street there.
    - http://rationalresponses.blogspot.com/ Jeff Dixon
      
      I am sure he thought was helping. However, offering advice about a nonexistent deity is of no help. Of course your comment about his mother is simply idiotic. Nothing in the story supports that at all. But, most of your comments are idiotic.
      - Despeville
        
        Everything is idiotic to an idiot who defines everything and qualifies everything on the basis of his idiotic and schizophrenic mind with rudimentary joke of pseudo education. Dodo you are a raving imbecile.
      - http://rationalresponses.blogspot.com/ Jeff Dixon
        
        Now that is funny coming from a delusional loon who believes in talking snakes and donkeys.

        And you believe in your grandma swinging on the branch despite the fact that mathematics denounced this as bad, bad really bad science.
      - http://rationalresponses.blogspot.com/ Jeff Dixon
        
        Nonsense. Simply posting that mathematician calculated it was impossible means nothing without reviewing how he came up with his numbers. It also means nothing when it is entirely possible that a different outcome would also end up with life.
        
        It is like much of what you believe, simply hot air and a desire it be so.
      - http://youtu.be/HlD3Gaq4cN0 Despeville
        
        Dodo there were and they are many theoretical mathematicians that came to the same conclusion that theory of evolution does not work and is unattainable. Posting any calculation or links to it is entirely useless for you for you would not understand it as you do not understand mathematics but your popular notion of it only.
      - http://rationalresponses.blogspot.com/ Jeff Dixon
        
        Which does nothing to address what I stated. Are you really that obtuse?
      - http://rationalresponses.blogspot.com/ Jeff Dixon
        
        What am I asking. Of course you are. But that makes your absurdity all the more humorous.
      - http://rationalresponses.blogspot.com/ Jeff Dixon
        
        It is funny. At some level, I keep expecting that you will utilize some degree of logic. But as you continue to show, that is beyond your ability.
