NHS ManagementLiz Miller sent me an email yesterday that said
"Will you stop getting yourself banned from everywhere
- for heavens sake can we go anywhere together anymore? ;-) "
She then said "Just the reptiles' watering holes?"
Well, now that brought back memories from far back into the past.
My favourite Sci Fi series used to be V
Essentially, V was all about lizards disguising themselves as human beings and taking over the earth. In those days, I watched it because Marc Singer starred as Donovan. As always, life for me is always motivated by a sexy guy. As times have moved forward, the rate of sexy men has decreased probably because I have been wallowing in the Reptile Watering Holes hoping they would turn into human beings. NHS Management haven't turned human, not that I have noticed!
In the early, 2000s, I worked in Blackpool, a good hideout for whistleblowers. I ate sugary doughnuts and lovely fish and chips. My Renault Clio got stuck in the tram line one morning when I took the wrong turn while oncall. Yes, having called 999, the fire services turned up at our home in the Midlands NOT the tramline in Blackpool. On that day, I had to play the damsel in distress. Amazing what taking off one's jacket to ensure a low cut top with a wonderbra uplift does to the imagination of men. Andrea from medical school had taught me that trick but I haven't tried it since. 10 came running over and lifted my car out of the tram line. Well, it was an emergency. A girls gorra do what a girls gorra do basically. It was important to flutter the old eyelashes and say " Thankyou, I could never have done that myself" [flutter flutter]. Amazing what a bit of vulnerability does to men. 3 took their shirts off as it was a hot summers day in Blackpool. Of course, I had to simply look. It was simply impossible not to. Thats what happens when you hang around the NHS too long. You forget that men outside the NHS aren't actually lizards at all :) but gentlemen.
Anyway, back to Lizards. I went to work that day and a patient came in to the adult psychiatry clinic and talked about her ideas regarding David Icke. This patient had got rather obsessed with Lizards taking over the world. The tale was fascinating though. She told me that she was sure I wasn't a lizard but that the NHS Managers were indeed of the lizard variety. Ummm, I thought, did this patient have insight? Perhaps she did have insight!? I knew the managers hissed, had forked tongues and generally were mean critters but I had to think about the lizard issue in great depth. This tale amused me greatly. Even though I do not subscribe to David Icke and his Lizard ideas, he is rich and I am not. Perhaps that is because I don't believe in enough in Lizards.
I have often been fascinated by the behaviour of NHS Managers. I suspect my years as a shrink made me acutely aware of how many dysfunctional people existed in the NHS.
I found a Guardian review quite interesting. It stated
"Board and Fritzon found that three of 11 personality disorders (PDs) were actually commoner in managers than in disturbed criminals. The first was histrionic PD, entailing superficial charm, insincerity, egocentricity and manipulativeness. There was also a higher incidence of narcissism: grandiosity, self-focused lack of empathy for others, exploitativeness and independence. Finally, there was more compulsive PD in the managers, including perfectionism, excessive devotion to work, rigidity, stubbornness and dictatorial tendencies"
And there it was, the study had found what I had suspected for years. Of course, the management at North Staffordshire NHS Trust were quite disordered. The problem with disorder is that those with it, never recognise it.
As the years were to move forward, I discovered that North Staffordshire NHS Trusts were pussy cats in comparison to the psychopaths that existed within GMC Towers. No one knows the GMC, as well as I do [well perhaps J Colman does]. That is because I have studied most documents, read most minutes of meetings and read most cases related to it. The GMC comes in a package deal of variable psychopaths. Its a bit like bassets allsorts but not as cute.
So, with respect to reptile comparisons, I was amused by the time I met Paul Philip. Paul Philip is a GMC top executive. He thinks he is important. He is not. He placed an alarm on my file insisting all my enquiries and correspondence to the GMC went via him. Ooooooooo, I thought, checking up on whether I ask for anything that will embarrass the GMC. Philip did not wish to get into the same state of affairs as he did in 2004. Blake Dobson of the GMC apologised for the distress caused to me during their illegal investigation into my so called mental health. It was covert, they admitted it was covert. Sheila Mann admitted it was a discreet inquiry. The GMC, caught with their pants down in court, ran off to the judge and said " Blake's opinion was a personal one and not shared by the GMC". Harris HHJ laughed at them. I laughed at them as did the audience behind us.
I am not actually clear which type of reptiles the GMC fits into - perhaps its an assortment. Perhaps we ought to rename the GMC in Manchester as the Reptile House. I am positive there are variations on a theme of reptiles there. It is true that Paul Philip does not blink. The man has no blink reflex. He was dubbed " snake eyes" by all of us. Paul Philip reminds me of Sir Hiss from the Disney Cartoon Robin Hood. Finlay Scott often reminds me of King John but perhaps that is simply my imagination :). It is important not to take such a dysfunctional organisation seriously. That is because they take themselves so darned seriously. This is probably the reason many doctors don't cope with them or crumble in fear. The main issue to remember though is that the doctors pay their salaries. There is nothing wrong with expecting good service. King John and Sir Hiss are currently not delivering good service. Field Fisher Waterhouse know where their skeletons are hidden.
So in response to Liz, I am banned from a doctors-only forum , from the BMJ but allowed into the Reptile House. Not that I have been to grace the Reptile House because I have never been invited. I recently asked for a meeting with the Reptile House so that we could discuss the removal of the vexatious complaints made by posters to a doctors only web site in the hayday of 2001-2003. Sir Hiss dislikes meeting me. Perhaps it has something to do with my doodling on paper of a large snake with the inscription " Sir Hiss is talking c****" again! :)

Perhaps this is an organisational problem but there is a serious problem with those who feel "important" about having power over doctors. There is one GMC committee member who Sectioned his own son and drinks like a fish. He sits in judgment of others. Well, there is a reason his wife divorced him. Must have been the brewers droop. Perhaps we can't be that wicked :), or can we?. There is a lot I know about various members of the GMC, their secrets, their dysfunctional lives, their double standards and the fact that they are indeed organisationally psychopathic. In my dealings with them, I have always felt like a fox hunted down and that is exactly what the GMC do - they hunt you down as if you are guilty from the start. Each doctor is considered as Harold Shipman from the start. I must at some point go and email some suggestions to rate the people I have dealt with on http://www.iwantgreatgmcmembers.blogspot.com

Lizards, eh?
Depressive realism more likely.
Strangely enough, I've just finished an NHS Exposed blog post essentially all about the psychopathic culture that's led and forced upon us by these types....I restrained myself from using reptilian vocabulary (hey, I'm a sane, compassionate human being - I'd feel upset attacking these specimens by calling them derogatory names. It might hurt their feelings. Oh wait, my mistake. They don''t have any.)
