DR CONVICT 

More than 1,000 doctors with criminal convictions still allowed to practiceSource: The SunThis story says that 1067 workers of medical practice have amounted to over 1181 crimes between them.Now while this is a disgusting truth of our society, I kind of understand why the legal system is being forgiven. After all, a lot of these doctors have probably saved more lives than they’ve ruined. And yes, they shouldn’t be ruining any at all but in a world where one of the indicators of a countries quality of life is how many citizens there are per doctor, it’s possible we can’t afford to lose many. I believe certain crimes should be left with a warning such as petty thievery but some of the crimes that doctor’s have been let off with are unforgivable. Taking indecent pictures of children is one such case and I think anybody can agree no matter what good a person has done, that needs to be punished. 51 doctors were convicted in 2016 but compared to two years ago where only 13 were convicted, there’s still a lot of progress to be made.This story comes under the representation of issues.
