Karl Kennedy

Discussions about Karl, played by Alan Fletcher

I think I spotted Karl wandering through the rooms last night!

Looking for people with problems he can heal

Well he's going to be busy here

Hi Dr. K welcome to our looney bin.

My name is scandi and I am normal

My name is Paul Robinson and there is nothing wrong with me and I have 20 odd years of tv footage to prove it

Actually Karl's not a therapist he's a GP (and a GP who's been in trouble more than once for breaching patient confidentiality) I'm not actually sure he can help us with anything more than a referral to someone else.

You can all be referred to me

And who do you get referred to?

No-one as I am perfectly sane   

Oh yes we can see that

I would actually be interested to see Karl's credentials. PB tells us he was running from a case where he thought he killed a patient when he moved to Ramsay St and although he was cleared he wasn't given a tick for his actions. He lost his clinic (in Toadie's office) because he breached patient confidentiality. He ignored a DNR on Harold and despite Harold getting over it he still ignored a written patient order and he constantly shares patient information with his wife and sometimes with the wrong people.

I really don't think he should be in a position to do anything more than treat colds and flus even though he works at the hospital but I also don't think he's got the qualifications he'd need to work there.

I'm not even sure PB can give us an accurate idea of his credentials, but they would definitely be worth seeing given the number of people convinced that he's surgical staff at that hospital.
