iwantyourgreatcare.org IN THE AFTERLIFE

More detailed reporting on NHS Behind the Headlines.

I was reading Dr John Crippen late last night. He featured a excellent annotated version of the Oxfordshire Mail starring Dr Dipstick himself.

The article stated

"Each of the country's 40,000 general practitioners and 120,000 hospital doctors have been listed on iwantgreatcare.org and in its first day thousands of patients logged on to give their opinions"

And the question I want to ask Neil is this - did anyone ask those doctors for permission to use their personal data? Not only has Neil listed those doctors above but he has also listed dead doctors on his database. So, we assume that the public in the afterlife will rate their dead doctor then. How is iwantgreatcare.org going to get the results? Well, rumour has it that they are in discussions with the GMC and Department of Health to hold seances! The Medical Act 1983 states that revalidation is apparently essential in the afterlife due to problematic ghost encounters. Rating Your Dead Doctor seems to be all the rage these days and data retention is essential.

The Oxford Mail went onto say

"Dr Bacon, 41, of Shipton-under-Wychwood, has taken a sabbatical and said he spent the last year planning the website, talking to doctors, the Department of Health, patient groups and the General Medical Council"

We assume one of the patient groups were the " Ghost Drive" - Taking Your Revalidation Into a Different Realm.

As a drive to make up for the doctors thrown out during the MMC fiasco, the White Paper from the Department of Health has suggested that Neil Bacon hire mediums to reconnect with doctors in the afterlife. Mark Shaw QC argued that it was essential to hold dead doctors on the GMC database under the Medical Act 1983 to extract subscription funds. Dr Neil Bacon extrapolated this idea and told the GMC that "we cannot have doctors running around in the afterlife haunting everyone without revalidation". Graeme Catto agreed to his proposal that iwantgreatcare.org should assess dead doctors. As the president was in the same speciality as Dr Neil Bacon, he appreciated what a Dipstick was used for and wholeheartedly agreed to any ideas proposed by Dr Neil Bacon [no matter how stupid they were]. Graeme Catto stated that this was " acceptable clinical risk".

What I want to ask is this, how many years sabbatical is Bacon going to take? Using one dipstick a year for our renal physician [ex] isn't going to do much for his revalidation. We assume all our comments are going to be printed out at the GMC for Neil Bacon's revalidation file. Yes, the GMC should ensure they keep printing away as there is a entire cyberworld full of Bacon Fry. I like the way, Dr Bacon and Lord Darzi are not on iwantgreatcare.org but dead doctors are! Neil Bacon's mate and GMC bod, Prof Chris Bulstrode is up there preening away at 98 percent. We all know about Chris Bulstrode and his close project partner Dr Bacon don't we? Bulstrode talks too much and attends too many meetings. Has he ever done anything useful at the General Medical Council? If he did, we wouldn't have such a psychopathic organisation. Anyway, having been pressured by moi on a number of websites, Bulstrode has finally broken his silence and admitted to his sins. The Jobbing Doctor has the latest news.

Apparently, he is a "He is an ardent supporter of this site, and a neighbour and friend of Dr Neil Bacon". Oh come come Prof Bulstrode, tell them all how you have been working on this internet project with Neil Bacon. Tell them how you admitted it in a recent meeting witnessed by a large number of people. We can't be all shy when it comes to the real crunch can we Chris? All those years at the GMC must have taught you about disclosure of your conflicts in the members Register of Interests. Has Chris heard of this Register? Well, I have but that is because I read.

Jobbing Doctor quips "This is yet another example of a surgeon straying outside their comfort zone of cutting, stitching, screwing, drilling and plumbing people; he lacks insight into human behaviour, he feels that it is all very simple, and it isn't"

This comment amused me. Neil Bacon obviously directs his remarks to Dr Crippen, Witchdoctor, Ferret, Jobbing Doctor and of course me.

"There's a noisy minority who don't see the benefits of progress here, but a far, far larger number of doctors from all levels, primary care and seconday care, junior and senior, who are saying it’s fantastic, this will help me and it will help the patients themselves,' he said.

In my mailbox the number of people thinking it's a great idea outnumber those who don't by roughly seven or eight to one.' [Pulse 15th July 2008]"

And what a minority we are eh. Rather more intelligent than the average bear.

Amazing what the Data Protection Act 1998 can achieve :)
