North Staffs Management "fibbing" Again

So there is apparently another whistleblower at North Staffordshire NHS Trust. The Express lists a article.

"AN NHS trust has been accused of victimising an eminent paediatrician who claimed that a baby’s death and at least 28 botched operations on children were caused by unskilled doctors"

Apparently, North Staffs are saying "He has mental health problems". Fascinating. So, the fact that they grabbed my poetry and said the samething about me in 1998 when I raised concerns on Ward 87 is merely a coincidence. The fact that that rumour settled within the GMC is probably also a coincidence. Or we could say that North Staffordshire management just has a way with whistleblowers. That way is to say they are bonkers so no one believes them.

This is what North Staffs had to say

"A spokesman for the UHNS NHS Trust said: “No one has ever been, or would be, suspended for blowing the whistle at University Hospital of North Staffordshire. The trust cannot comment on issues relating to individual members of staff.”

ROFL. The Trust attempted to discipline me after I had raised concerns in 1998. They failed miserably of course. This case will be interesting to watch. The good thing is that consultants are normally considered right despite the fact there are no independent figures backing this doctor. Nevertheless, we need to give him the benefit of the doubt. It is all looking bleak from here because thats the way it goes at North Staffordshire. The management is a bit like a cesspit of poisonous snakes. If you don't get out, they devour you. It is a simple message for our whistleblower - time to extract himself from the Trust before the Trust extracts him from medicine.

No doubt the GMC will be sniffing around here wondering whether they should get their clawed hand into this fiasco just to ensure a fair mix. Mind you, he is a brave whistleblower for giving data to the media given the GMC's new guidance on confidentiality.
