Q. does doctors' climate activism (and arrest for protesting) bring the medical profession into disrepute?.

for some time the General Medical Council has maintained it does & has suspended doctors for such political actions.

The GMC focusses on the legal issue (prosecution) while members of the profession are focussing on the political issue when they argue the GMC should not 'double punish' climate protesting doctors.

The GMC needs to rethink!
