The Lying Master

Trusts Negotiate with the GMC.
How to Lie Convincingly Together

Following the last post, I had a doctor email me about performance assessment at GMC Towers. I hadn't considered performance assessments there, because , quite frankly I have never got that far. I have often spent a substantial amount of time robustly challenging the General Medical Council so they understand quite bluntly that I am not a walkover. For that they hate my guts but then I suspect ever doctor hates the GMC's guts.

The one thing all doctors have been waiting for is a report to the police regarding the GMC's lying ways. Many doctors have tried to report them in the past. In retrospect, I should have reported them under the Harassment Act 1997 but I decided to wait and watch. The important aspect about the GMC is this. They are unable and unwilling to play fair. When their fibbing habits are discovered, they then try to conceal the evidence or even fabricate the evidence. It is hard to imagine but everyone needs to watch the GMC in action. Cold, subtle, snide, lizard like. Life is peachy for them, their legal advisers are paid masses of finances from the doctors subscription pot. Their legal advisers simply defend their client, the GMC. The doctors never hold them accountable. It has carried on to such an extent that it is now a dictatorship.

If you catch the GMC lying, you can be sure that Finlay Scott will not sign the piece of paper verifying the lie. I once tested this out with Graeme Catto. Statements were made in the Professor Griffiths complaint. I asked Catto to sign a statement of truth and he just would not. They are quite an amusing organisation to watch. It is a bit like a good spectator sport. They often fall into their own minor traps if they don't know whats going on. Varma and I for instance stripped them down by making them admit that they did not collect ethnicity statistics data. Having made them admit that, the matter was floated over to the CRE who forced them to collect this data in accordance to the Race Relations Act. So, it is rather amazing how a regulatory body had not collected data for a hundred years or more but yet continues to sprout rubbish about their processes being free from discrimination. Free from discrimination? Has anyone heard such a load of rubbish?

In their eyes, they assume that all doctors are not as clever as them but in reality we all know what a dreadfully nasty organisation they are. Dr India yesterday told me that " They can't even formulate the allegations correctly". Another doctor told me " They keep moving the goalposts so we have no idea whats going on".

During performance assessments, one doctor stated

"Do you know that they cheat with every performance assessment. So outrageously as if they were completely in outer space and so shamelessly as if they would be absolutely sure that it would anyway not be challenged. They contort and manipulate evidence, they prove that they have no idea about medicine, they are putting statements of witnesses in the report which the witnesses never have made. Everybody should be warned not to agree to undergo a performance assessment!!!!!!! If they do not find anything else to knock somebody out, they arrange a performance assessment. No chance to contradict as there are 3 assessors against the poor doctor"


Of course, for any doctor facing the courts or facing a GMC hearing, what you need to do is persuade the otherside to write their statement of fibs on a statement of truth, you then need to contemplate reporting them to the police. The more doctors who report the GMC to the police will mean the more likely an investigation takes place. In many cases, the GMC and their legal team have flouted the law and twisted material to fit their own agenda. Then again, I guess you have to see the GMC lie to believe it. They lie quite convincingly and coldly. Their organisational persona is much like a cold calculated personality disordered serial killer. We all know the GMC devours innocent doctors and can't be bothered acting in the case of dishonest doctors.

For anyone who is interested, yes, I am busy collecting comparators, I collect most things about the GMC. I make it my business to know everything they do. That isn't because the GMC has in the past been embroiled with me a court case, it is really because I am disgusted at the way they treat the innocent and the guilty. Both deserve a fair hearing, that is one of the perks of living in a democratic society. I am about to discuss matters with the Human Rights Watch. The GMC is simply a polite version of Guantanamo Bay, it is the smiling serial killer of careers and so far it hasn't been held accountable. One day though they will be held accountable, the entire place will be investigated by the police and they will be completely disbanded. I look forward to the day, Finlay Scott is retired to greener pastures. He certainly would be less of a risk to the medical profession if he were to live in the country, preferably in a locked thatched cottage. Then again, in my book, Scott is directly responsible for any lies told in the GMC hearings. He doesn't think so of course because he would like the world to assume that all is well at GMC Towers. All isn't well, there are boxes and boxes of files, boxes of documents that detail how they all screwed innocent doctors and left them all to fend for themselves.

Essentially, the GMC chews you up in their procedures, spits you out and expects you to survive the devastation they cause. When you survive it, they think about how abnormal you are. When you don't survive it and you have hung yourself on a toilet chain, they say " ah we told you he was troubled" therefore we were "right". The fact remains, the General Medical Council frequently drive innocent doctors off the rails. One of them was Dr Debra Shepherd. The GMC are so cold and conceited, it is almost bordering on evil. I wouldn't be surprised if they sat on the side lines and rubbed their hands with glee and the fact they drove Debra Shepherd to suicide. People don't like talking about things like that, they think its a shocking admission that the GMC should be responsible for the fact that doctors are driven off the cliff.

I suspect they wonder why I haven't even walked to the cliff. Well, its because I don't like cliffs and I don't like the concept of death. In any case, I am around to hold the GMC accountable. Accountability comes in many ways. There is little in the courts, there is little in the world but as Scott and his cronies know, there is a mass of accountability by educating the public and educating doctors. It is the education of doctors and the public that will eventually abolish the General Medical Council. That is the message to The Lying Master and the Serial Killer of Medical Careers.
