Not like he could appeal. He doesn’t have a leg to stand on legally.

    That article really harps on about how him buying extreme porn made by consenting adults makes him unsuitable to being a doctor and sorta completely glosses over the whole him freezing his fucking legs off thing.

    And while being mentally unstable. Is a very valid and important reason to not practice medicine.

    Making a news article about it. Is just horror porn. So the article writer has little to harp on about.

    Doctor did dumb stuff to himself proving he was not suited to practice medicine. Is far from a nessesery need to inform the public. And doing so is just an excuse to remove his medical privacy.

    Even if you question the consent in porn. IE consider economic issues forcing people into porn. Less consential then we would like.

    I'd still trust someone with that interest. More then someone taking a person's mental lllness and making money from exploiting it.

    We have a joke here in the UK about what it takes for the GMC to remove a doctor. They always talk about bringing the profession into disrepute, but it's never more than throwing the worst ones under the bus to protect the herd.
