General Medical Council ..ethical examine?

how serious would it be for a patient to report a doctor to the common medical council.would this be detrimental to the doctor and would he hope to avoid this at all costs?General Medical Council ..ethical examine?
Sounds like the patient is trying to blackmail the doctor. If the doctor feel s/he is correct, s/he should stay their ground.
However, if a patient feel something unethical go on, that's the point of the council. The complaint should be investigated fairly and minus inflammation. Again, if the doctor feels s/he is correct, later s/he wouldn't be worried coming in front of the council.
Birds of a spine.... it would be very complicated to bring charges against a medical Dr. as his cohorts would go to bat for him and engineer you out a liar....unless you really have proof and tangible evidence the Dr.have preformed unforgiving or a malpractice that would for always discharge them, that would stand up in a court of regulation. [very serious indeed!]
