Dear Electric Boogaloo,
Thank you for the input.
I am sure that our colleagues are well aware that they have an obligation to advise their PI insurer in the event of a claim or a foreshadowed claim.
As to the humour and the likelihood of detracting from "professionalism" all I can suggest is that you relax!
This profession is highly regulated with a diligent and proactive regulator, the occasional sanction in a population of about 8300 RMAs indicates a very high level of professionalism
in the delivery of services to the community.
There is no crisis in the professionalism and expertise of RMAs, people make mistakes and exercise poor judgement, that does not make them unprofessional. It is simply part of being human.
A little bit of humour from time to time is a good thing, it helps us all decompress.
Do I send this to Lee Street?
