Catch Me If You Can

GMC - Sweeping Up Whistleblowers

What else can we say about the General Medical Council. Well, they were spotted on these servers fishing around it as usual. The GMC likes fishing. Its their main hobby. Thats nothing new but you would think they had better things to do than wonder around such an unimportant website that talks about whistleblowing.

We know about their close collusion with North Staffordshire NHS Trust. The GMC though are in a quandary because they dislike this website. They dislike it because it shows that the GMC never did perform their function in the "public interest". In any case, all the material on this blog is true. They all know it is. Moreover, they also know there is nothing they can do about it and that is the problem. Well, a problem for them anyway. The important thing to remember about the GMC is that they are a unimportant little organisation that is unable to deal with basic problems. Much like authorities in the UK, they fail patients and doctors miserably. The other thing about the GMC is this, there is no accountability for the shoddy service offered by them.

Life with the General Medical Council has been less than rosey for me. We exist in a bad divorce but we are agreed on one issue - they dislike me and I dislike them. That is refreshingly honest for the GMC. My only gripe with the GMC is this - in all the years they have attempted to catch me, faced me in litigation, not once have they hired a Colin Firth lookalike as their legal representative. I am of the view that this is grossly inconsiderate of them! :).

Anyone can forgive dark, evil people if they are cosmetically good looking because at least there is something to look at in court. You would think that all the money they get from those hardworking little juniors would be enough for them to be a little more considerate about my needs as a whistleblower ie dashing barristers. Everyone is aware that my two vices in the world are chocolate and observational studies of dashing barristers. Views are important after all as a mere distraction technique. You would think there would be some sort of perk out this GMC membership. The next problem is that they are such serious people. The problem with serious people is that its more fun mocking them. It is called equality - they mock me and I mock them. The difference is I do it publicly and they do it covertly. They would say " covert behaviour" is in the interests of " transparency".

Thanks to http://www.generalmedicalcouncil.com for remembering the 4 year anniversary of my last meeting with the GMC. In answer to their emails, yes it is true I went into battle with a motto that was a Tom and Jerry Cartoon. It is also true that the chocolate consumed during that hearing was phenomenal which is possibly why I am fat but then I was aiming to be much like Queen Latifa before the Honey Diet came into fashion. We now have to view some amusing and laughable GMC quotes. We all have to remember that for years the GMC has been leaking false, prejudicial information about me to potential employers. They have now been caught twice at this escapade. They also have "Alarms" set up on my file where they pass each email to Paul Philip before responding.


Professor Catto GMC today October 2005

It is no-one’s interest to allow the procedures to be misused or misapplied. Nor can it be in the interests of patients if the regulator is viewed as oppressive by the profession


"I also believe passionately in fairness, both to patients and to doctors. At a minimum, processes and procedures should be fair, objective, transparent and free from unfair discrimination. Decisions should be made on the basis of clear, transparent criteria, with all relevant factors taken into account and irrelevant factors excluded. We should investigate legitimate concerns fully and thoroughly; and act swiftly to protect the public interest when this is necessary. We should equally swiftly conclude complaints against doctors when their fitness to practise is not in doubt; and we should be sure of our facts if a doctor’s livelihood is at stake"

Mr Scott,
http://www.ward87.blogspot.com is my personal blog on the whistleblowing case the GMC specularly failed in. Over the last few weeks, the GMC mailhost has been visiting this blog and I am less than impressed with this sort of conduct from yourselves. I am entitled to write a personal blog without being scrutinised by the GMC for every word I write. I consider it oppressive to my freedom to write what I wish to.
The GMC has already had me fired, violated my rights and now continues its unhealthy obsessional behaviour.
I would be grateful if the GMC would kindly refrain from visiting my blog. The GMC visits are cluttering up and putting wear and tear on my servers. I am sure they have better things to do like catch the next Harold Shipman. In the meantime, I intend to write about all the antics the GMC has been up to so it remains as a public record for all to view. If the GMC is unhappy with that, it should not have conducted itself in the way it has.
Regards

Dr Rita Pal
