Osama Bin Laden Fan Was "A Highly Respected Member of The Neurology Ward At North Staffordshire NHS Trust"

Hunk of Burning Love For North Staffordshire NHS Trust

I suspect we have to give Mohammed Asha the benefit of the doubt because as a suspected terrorist he was given more rights than me. I am not surprised as he is so sickly complimentary to the NHS, it is as if he is sucking up to the British establishment. His compliments are effusively complimentary. He gushes at each sentence.

The BBC had this to say

"The court was told that, at the time of his arrest last June, Dr Asha was a highly-respected member of staff in the neurology ward at the University Hospital of North Staffordshire."

Yes, I bet he was, the only doctors who were not respected are the rest of us who pointed out the flaws

A March 2002 report by the Commission of Health Improvement of a Clinical Governance Review at North Staffordshire NHS Trust found serious shortcomings in the supervision of junior doctors,

"CHI was informed that junior doctors working in medicine were often inadequately supervised and often left alone on wards, particularly on the medical assessment unit (MAU). During an evening visit we found only two junior doctors covering MAU, which was full to capacity, with a further junior doctor covering MAU and emergency admissions; one junior doctor covered the medical wards and one covered medical outliers but these patients could be on wards on either site. CHI felt this situation posed a potential clinical risk to patients.”

3. The 2002 report went on to say, in Paragraph 5.78:

There were a number of concerns raised regarding support and supervision for junior doctors working in medicine. We were told of a number of occasions when it was felt there was a lack of support both during the day and when problems arise whilst oncall. The Trust has acknowledged that medical staffing at all levels is under resourced in medicine".

The BBC went onto quote the alleged terrorist :-

The doctor added: "I already had the blueprint of my future before I came here but in my experience here I really accepted the greatness of the health system in this country.

Then there is the issue of English

"I know people have complaints about the NHS but, take it from me, it is a great system.

"I love the country here, I love the way people treat each other here, especially medical training."

Dr Asha also revealed his English has improved while on remand in Belmarsh Prison.

He said: "It is definitely better than when I was arrested; funnily enough, this traumatic experience has some advantages.

"One of them was being in an English-speaking environment, only English, so I have been able to practise my English in prison."

The trial continues on Monday.

So are we to believe the General Medical Council and North Staffordshire NHS Trust employed someone who was not fluent in English while UK qualified doctors during the MMC remained unemployed? How quaint.

The prosecution found as follows

"Jonathan Laidlaw, prosecuting, said: “In a wallet on a bed in the box room, the police recovered a hand-written document in Arabic which includes a poem written in the first person amounting to a pledge of allegiance to Osama, presumably bin Laden. “Fingermarks on documents forming part of this same exhibit match those of Asha.”

Mr Laidlaw told the jury that documents found on a laptop at the house had such titles as Verdict Regarding The Permissibility Of Martyrdom Operations and The Clarification Of What Happened In America.Asha, aged 28, who allegedly provided funding and spiritual guidance to Abdulla and co-conspirator Kafeel Ahmed, was also seen trying to dispose of other documents as the police net closed around him.

On the evening of June 30, with the investigation into both attacks underway, Asha was put under police surveillance, and was seen leaving his home at 7.19pm, along with his family.

Police officers followed him to Pak Foods supermarket in Stoke Road, Shelton, and to Asda at Wolstanton Retail Park. At both, Asha was seen placing plastic bags into bins.

Mr Laidlaw said: “From the Asda car park Asha drove to the M6 motorway, joining the northbound carriageways, and at just after 9pm the police stopped his Mazda car and Asha was arrested.”

The items Asha dumped included a list of Islamic websites, documents in Arabic, and smashed rewritable CDs.The jury was told that he was the first person Abdulla and Ahmed phoned after their failed bombing bid in London.

It is therefore amazing that North Staffordshire NHS Trust would stand by a back this man. They have not denied Asha's " excellent reputation" and indeed have stood by and watched the effusive compliments showered upon him. In turn, Asha is playing to the British Public and is complimentary to his employers. The relationship is touching. I should say that at no time would North Staffordshire NHS Trust ever state that Dr Rita Pal was a hardworking respected doctor in 1998 there. They would though say that about an alleged terrorist.

So in conclusion, to be called a "much respected doctor" by North Staffordshire NHS Trust, you have to run around with Osama Bin laden memorabilia. You also have to be complimentary about their services as say as follows :-

Asha said: "I already had the blueprint of my future before I came here but in my experience here I really accepted the greatness of the health system in this country.

"I know people have complaints about the NHS but, take it from me, it is a great system. I love the country here, I love the way people treat each other here, especially medical training.

"It is not a criticism but learning by humiliation in Jordan is one of the standard ways in schools of medicine, and it is very competitive and very difficult sometimes. Here respect is the rule."
