Raj is a good guy. Raj is from my neck of the woods. Raj was essentially a whistleblower and a victim of a subsequent witch hunt, I have never met him but I am extremely glad that he won his battle against the Trust in question. We all remember this case very well. Raj is a bit of a hero really - probably the only whistleblower to get his job back. I suspect he is now superglued to it forever.
The campaign team supported him 100 percent. It is far more than any other whistleblower has ever had. Witchdoctor has been speaking with a plummy accent of late and narrates the story with video features.
Even though it has been a number of years, his campaign team have always been the best, have backed him 100 percent and have never given up. I think many doctors should use this as an example. His campaign group should be held in high esteem for its excellent coordination, good publicity and their courage in backing up their colleague. If anyone deserves accolades,they do.
I doubt I will ever have a campaign team backing me - but then I believe in single handed fighting because as my old dad used to say, you are born alone and you die alone so you have to learn to fight alone because then you don't have to rely on anyone else but yourself. I think that is a vital lesson to learn. If you don't learn to stand on your own, you cannot stand independently with others.
This is why any doctor in a predicament with the NHS owes it to themselves to be the best - better than their lawyers, faster than the authorities and seek to develop the ability to drive tactical battles. I have no idea why they don't teach medical students these basic issues. Only yesterday, I heard that a family friend's son is going into medicine. Its one of those asian scenarios where teenagers have a dreamy idyllic outlook on life. I am always a little disturbed that no one educates them on the reality of medicine. For most people it goes right but for some people it can go very wrong - and when it goes wrong, there is no recovery. All the degrees in the world isn't useful really. I don't think medical school teaches you a great deal about the reality of the NHS.
Bar the GMC's vendetta against me, I have never been subjected to any disciplinary proceedings at any Trust. I am eternally grateful for that. Given the craziness of managers who are mostly psychopathic disordered humans, there is no rationalising with them. When the chips are down, you play their game but faster and better than management. It isn't difficult, you just have to think about tactical moves.
North Staffordshire NHS Trust management were played right down into the dust. I haven't finished my game of footsie with this management as yet. The best is yet to come.

Dr Mattu was a very successful Consultant Cardiac Surgeon in Cov and Warwick in 2002 when he was suspended. The rumour was that he had "bullied" a junior doctor whose services were quickly transferred to Morriston Hospital in Swansea before people in Coventry could ask questions. Around that time Steve Krikler in Orthopaedic surgeon assaulted a junior doctor in public view. However, the Hospital referred the junior to the GMC instead of Steve Krikler who continues on is pots until today.
