Dr J.R.B Green is available at the Nuffield Hospitals
He was Consultant at North Staffordshire NHS Trust, friend of Dr Tim Bowling and offered up the response above to the letter from Dr Colin Campbell.
There are a few things to say about Dr Green. He wasn't bad looking for a guy of his age but that is all he really had going for him apart from his clipped English accent of course. All his work was done by Associate Specialist Dr Saud Ishaq. Saud was a decent guy who tried to help but he had to leave me to sink because his own career would be on the line. He though told me that everyone knew about the Ward 87 problem but that no one admitted it.
Dr Green spent half his time playing golf as he always had too many clubs in his car and not enough books on clinical management. He turned up to approximately one ward round in a million weeks. Dr Green was my boss but he never knew me. He never knew me because he never took the time to know who I was. I never really knew him apart from the arrogance he floated around the ward with. Having been my boss for the first three months and he himself says " Dr Pal had successfully completed half of her PRHO post and contacted the Directorate as soon as she felt concerned in the new part of her rotation". If that was the case, then logic would lead us to believe that there must have been a problem with Ward 87.
As I have stated in all these narratives, Dr JRB Green like all of them knew about the problems on Ward 87. He also knew that his staff thought I was one of the most hard working doctors there. He goes to say " This should at least save her career". Why should my career have been at risk if he had managed the situation adequately and provided good supervision, adequate equipment etc. Dr Green though interesting attempts to shift the blame onto me and is not critical or does he admit to the problems on Ward 87 in his letter.
He goes onto say " I am aware of two recent problems within the Directorate". And we know what happened to the previous doctors don't we? The tale of one of them is on a doctors only web site.
Anyway, Dr Green was never a perfect man. He had many faults but his faults often exceeded his good points. It wasn't of course enough that he was cosmetically fairly interesting but the deeper you looked into him, the more darker his character got. There is no doubt that he must have been a good doctor sometime in his younger years but as a manager, his ego had began to control him and he was lost. Lost people of course have skeletons in the closets. Dr Green had many but we won't bore those who read this blog with the others. The most important was written by the Sunday Times. This is related to Dr Green of course.
"In her first month, a senior doctor ordered the medication to be withdrawn from an 89-year-old stroke victim who was critically ill and could not speak because he had a plastic tube down his throat.
"This man was actually conscious and could hear us," said Pal. "The doctor said, 'We need the bed - stop all his medication'. He obviously didn't think he was going to live. I thought: we are killing someone because we want the beds.
"They stopped the medication and at about 9.30pm he started getting short of breath. I held his hand and said, 'You will be all right'. I was sickened by the whole episode."
Pal disobeyed the doctor and gave the patient drugs to help him breathe. He was transferred to another unit, but later died. The doctor, whose name is known to The Sunday Times, declined to comment last night.
Dr Green should also know that I restarted the medication on the PRN side of the chart so he would not notice. It was of course a lot for a Pre-Registration House Officer to disobey their consultant but I did because no one died on my shift that could be saved. He survived and we transferred quickly out of our ward quickly to a EMI home so Dr Green would not know. Dr Green always thought he died on the ward but he survived a year more. Just goes to show that if its not time to go, its not going to happen no matter how hard some doctors try and play God. Of course, the General Medical Council will not pay attention to this because in the end Dr Green is a consultant and I was a junior doctor. In the GMC's eyes, I would be wrong and the patient should have been allowed to die. In my eyes of course, no one died on my shift. That was my rule and it remained my rule no matter how difficult it was. I wasn't going to watch this patient die and live with it the next day knowing I could have saved him.
Anyway, the Locum Registrar and I got the EMI home for the above gentleman, did a high five and went off to have breakfast. The breakfast was great and we had a good snipe behind Dr Green's back as everyone did. In the end, no one really liked Dr Green. Too much golf, too much money, too much decadence and not enough humanity. Some people can be worshipped as consultants but some people are held with contempt. Dr Green felt that he could treat the juniors badly and they would obey and not bite back. Sometimes though even Dr Green can be wrong!
Dr Green was a good example of why doctors should not become managers.
As for anyone seeing Dr Green privately, I would spend the money on someone else. There are lots of doctors in the world to spend your money on. As the years have gone on, his looks have probably dwindled and after that has gone, there is really nothing left.
These last few posts have been placed to describe the matter in which senior doctors and management do develop a "pack" attack attitude towards the whistleblower. The situation often reminded me of the fox hunting season. I didn't like being a fox but then there was never a choice. Creating tiger like instincts took a long time but survival is important and everyone has to survive.
It is a great shame that Dr Green did not prevent the deaths on Ward 87 earlier.

Last week one of the man's relatives said: "I think the NHS is atrocious. I don't think they care about old people."

Whoever wrote this is a complete joke.
Dr Green is nothing but the most professional Dr I have ever worked with both clinically and professionally.
As for professional, posting letters on a blogging website and commenting about his looks??
Total joke.
