Hereās a screenshot of my Dewi Evans referral, made before the Baby K retrial.
By that point, I had already examined in detail what he had said publicly and much of what he had said in court and come to see the obvious conclusion that every other actual neonatologist who has looked into it has seen: Dr Evans had essentially reinvented neonatology in order to present himself as an expert and charge an undisclosed but certainly hefty sum. (He later quietly shifted his self-description to āprofessional witnessā - whatever thatās supposed to mean.)
I stand by every word I said. Furthermore, since then, Iāve reviewed all the āexpertā reports Dr Evans has written: I could write a GMC referral the size of a book, listing not opinions, but cold, hard facts - demonstrating that this man is has no grasp of neonatology and has breached nearly every principle of the medical expert code.
But I wonāt. Why?
Because the system doesnāt care.
ā¢The police donāt care.
ā¢The CPS doesnāt care.
⢠The judiciary donāt care.
ā¢The GMC certainly doesnāt care.
Lucy Letby is guilty because Dr Evans says so - and thatās enough.
Anyone who dares question that - whether theyāre a Bulgarian female neonatologist, an international professor, or a whole group of global national and international experts who actually understand science and/or neonatology - is immediately branded a ātrutherā, a āconspiracy theoristā, or some other dismissive label. Their credentials, logic, and evidence are irrelevant. Because Dr Evans says otherwise. And thatās all it takes.
Whoop whoop. Hooray. Justice, apparently.
Letās talk about what happened next.
Guy Adams of the Daily Mail then dedicated a two-page spread explaining what a real example of sainthood Dr Evans was and allowing him to continue to harass me - for daring to speak out. At the time, I was the only independent currently practising UK neonatologist to publicly call out Dewi Evansā deeply flawed contributions. (Mike Hall also had but he was a defence expert. And yes - Dr Hall is an actual genuine expert).
Now, hereās whatās interesting: several other doctors also raised concerns. Some referred Evans to the GMC. All of them were men.
But Guy and Dewi picked me.
I will wait patiently to hear the answer but I wonder⦠could it because:
ā¢Iām a woman.
ā¢Iām not rich.
ā¢Iām employed (read: easily targetable).
ā¢Iām Bulgarian.
Thatās misogyny. Thatās xenophobia. Thatās classism. Itās all there. (Never mind the fact that I am also British and gained top degrees in medicine and law from top British universities - because who would want the truth to come in the way of important people being important and making lots of moneyā¦)
But Guy didnāt stop with the hit piece. He then emailed multiple of my employers the vile trope I posted about yesterday. A journalist of real calibre.
Letās be very clear: whatās happening here is more than just individual injustice. This is a state endorsed exercise of scapegoating for human and system failures with a multitude of victims and an ominous message to every professional in the UK:
Do your job too well, challenge bad science, raise legitimate concerns - and youāll be punished for it.
And finally, a well-earned round of applause to those who made this circus show possible:
ā¢Cheshire Police
ā¢The CPS
ā¢The British ājusticeā system
And letās not forget the shining lights of British journalism: Guy Adams, Liz Hull, and Judith Moritz - who basically co-authored a masterclass in āHow Not to Do Good Journalismā. Honestly, it should be taught in journalism school.
Letās make Guy Adams famous for his behaviour. Long overdue.
