wrote previously how the GMC has shuttered doctors against responding against unwarranted criticism by malicious patients. I have always been a great advocate for the freedom of speech and expression.
This article in the British Medical Journal is something right after my heart. A report on the British libel laws and how they are shackling the freedom of expression by creating a "chill factor", this is the product of a recent panel discussion about science journalism and libel law at City
University, London.
This is indeed a nice read, and well explains the perils of "publish and be damned"!
