A quote from today's shocking 7News report about the controversial Australian psychiatrist/professor Graham Burrows:
"I can't describe it as anything other than disgusting."
I agree.
Burrows patient used as "guinea pig".

My blog for rants and observations about politics, especially Australian politics. Pet peeves include corruption in politics, science and medicine and the aggressive promotion of psychiatry. I've often wondered why it appears that scum rise to the top and smartest, most honest people leave or are marginalized. I'm also peeved about the victimization of asylum-seekers by the Australian govt. and the parlous state of federal politics in general. - Lili Marlene (not my real name)

Appreciate your blog. Would like to see this psychiatrist amongst others brought to justice. (Just to let you know, most of your links on this blog don't work. Do you know the reason?)
ReplyDeleteToo arrogant, past his use-by date, fixed in his treatment mindset and lacking empathy, he should no longer be practising. He deserves treatment resistant OCD that lasts until his death. With luck, he'll receive treatment from a shrink who is a carbon copy of himself.
ReplyDeletehe's scum but he's dead :)
DeleteDid I miss something, or is this a glowing obituary (from last year) with not a hint of negative? http://www.smh.com.au/comment/obituaries/workaphile-professor-had-a-25hour-day-20160310-gnfcut.html
