Dr David Cartland
ENGLAND


“I will always remember exactly the moment of my graduation when we recited the Hippocratic oath which includes a vow. A vow to ‘first do no harm’ … To NOT recognise, notify or publicise concerns of harm would be contrary to mine and my colleague’s oath taken at qualification.“

Fantastic job, Dave.
Very proud of Dave, until recently I’d lived in far West Cornwall and have been so glad there was at least one Dr down there, with balls big enough, to have put his head on the chopping block and fight the insanity and tyranny that is trying to take a grip over the world.
His fight is on going and we stand beside him.
