The DS Walk and the Ward 87 Talk

A Simple Life - Minus the General Medical Council.
Hit it Ella


I watched the BBC report on Southall yesterday. Midlands Today has exceeded itself in biased reporting and failed again to report the admission by the GMC panel. The GMC panel admitted that the rights of the three doctors had been violated. If we all watch this video, it wrongly cites Ward 87 as historically being involved in CNEP trials.

There is a camera cut to Ward 87 and its the only publicity the dead patients of Ward 87 are going to get. It is a snippet of Ward 87 label! Midlands Today may wish to review the fact that the ward was shut down in 2005 due to the high level of patient deaths over many years. Of course, there isn't much point to asking that question given the media's blanket silence on this subject.

Since 2005, it has been the Department of Paediatrics and its offices. Therefore technically Ward 87 didn't had no involvement with CNEP on the dates specified as it was a general acute and dermatology ward. This means it had nothing to do with paediatrics. The biased one sided reporting is expected really. I cannot ever expect the BBC to actually spot the real scandal in Stoke on Trent nor do I expect them to ask the question regarding the deaths of patients on the ward.

The report made no mention of CNEP in the beleaguered Griffiths inquiry nor did it mention the Nottingham Study that effectively vindicated the CNEP study itself. Anyway, these are just minor little evidential details missed out by the blind media.

I think the only highlights of the video was the charming and lovely Henshall child who obviously has more sense and charisma than her parents. The second amazing highlight of the day for me was of course David Southall walking to the GMC. David used to be known as the Harrison Ford of the paediatric profession when I worked in North Staffordshire NHS Trust. David is oblivious to this fact but some men just cannot help being devilishly sexy. [ apologies to his wonderful wife]. As I always say, when all is going wrong at the GMC and the GMC are wasting time and doctor's money, the only thing to do really is to watch the talent walking in and out of the GMC and play Ella! In the end, in this crazy world those are the only two things that make sense. The GMC have the wrong doctor but they know that because the GMC gets it wrong more times than they get it right. I think the image of David pandered around by the media is completely wrong. David is actually a softly spoken, kind and considerate man. That was his reputation in 1998 and still is now.

Anyway, the clip has been passed to all my girlfriends for splicing to the " DS Dark Suited Walk". We believe that section of filming was a masterpiece on the BBC's front. It was well worth watching the video just to spot the DS Walk. It is just a shame that the rest of the reporting was unbalanced rubbish.

Conflict of Interest Declared - I think my Ella Fitzgerald CD Collection matters more than the General Medical Council. Ella sings better than the GMC's Fitness to Practise.
