I always have a interest in how the establishment views ethnic minority doctors. I was born in England but I can never get away from the fact that my face is brown. Many people are extremely surprised when I blurt out BBC English.
I knew that had I not been from the ethnic minority, I would never have been targeted by the General Medical Council. I was targeted because the GMC [wrongly] assumed that I would never defend myself against them as many foreign doctors don't. I know this because the GMC have been picky over my English, my typographical errors, my sentence syntax and even when I got my English male friend to write out my letters for me, they still complained of the "tone". Yes, it is the tone that dictates your future. Nothing else appears to matter in England these days. As in Dr Ubani's case, even an apology does not matter to anyone.
Of course, in time I understood what was happening to me. The General Medical Council were treating me like they treat every foreign doctor that sets foot in the United Kingdom - i e with contempt.
I was called Dr Patel by a judge once. The entire judgment called me Dr Patel. It is as if there is a generic name for all doctors with brown faces. We are all called Dr Patel. I was indeed furious as the judge and in the ordinary world, I would have screamed " You racist git ". Of course, I have the English influence of keeping my temper in check and gruffed all the way back on the train. What is in a name eh? Well, there is a lot in a name because it can make or break your future. I am currently watching Dr Ubani get slated through the media, I suppose again it is easy for them to hang a man who can't speak English like the English. We could test out my English comparator by the name of Edward who killed a man in Stoke on Trent in 1998. I still have the patients name and the patients number etc. I know for a fact that the General Medical Council will never investigate it. I also know the newspapers will never feature him. I certainly know none of the bloggers would even mention him. It is the way of the world in the United Kingdom. Take Ward 87 for instance. How many newspapers feature the misdemeanors of the consultants responsible for Ward 87? How many people demand their prosecution for corporate manslaughter? Well, this won't happen because we know the establishment supports their kind. We also know that the patients on the ward were ordinary people and not a white doctor's father.
In the meantime, Jane Barton is a killer that no one wishes to criticize. There are calls for Ubani's prosecution in the UK. Lets have those calls for Jane Barton because lets face it, she has ended the lives of more people than Ubani and she continues to be a danger to patients in the UK. Let us see the system ACT on a killer of many people.
There is a reason why more foreign doctors are prosecuted by the General Medical Council. This is what the Independent stated.
So having prosecuted half the population of foreign doctors and taken them off the floor in the United Kingdom, the General Medical Council laments :-"NHS doctors trained overseas are more than three times as likely to be found guilty of a disciplinary offence than UK-trained colleagues, despite attracting the same volume of complaints, the inquiry found. Reasons for the discrepancy remain unexplained but the report says that in the absence of "objective measures" showing complaints against foreign doctors are more serious, the GMC "remains open to accusations of bias"
"Patients are not being properly protected from poor foreign doctors, the General Medical Council, has warned, as it called for tighter rules on doctors brought in from abroad."
And I don't say they are racist because "I feel like it". I have shown evidentially that the General Medical Council have used two tests for misconduct, one for Caucasian doctors who are establishment friendly, and one for foreign/non establishment doctors. This is why two lawyers argue two analyses of misconduct at the same time at the Royal Courts of Justice. I speak of course of Mark Shaw QC and of Robert Englehart QC. One definition was argued by Mr Mark Shaw QC [ tougher analysis that sends all allegations of misconduct for investigation]. in R v General Medical Council Ex Parte Pal This has been used typically for foreign doctors. Robert Englehart QC argued a different analysis of misconduct in R v General Medical Council Remedy UK for Caucasian doctors. I understand that the CHRE have raised this discrepancy with the General Medical Council. I love this example because it shows that an identical complaint made against a caucasian and a British Indian are dealt with differently. Essentially, the GMC was caught with their pants down.
The GMC have "commissioned research" into why a disproportionate number of foreign doctors are sent down the Fitness to Practice procedures. Well, we don't need research. We just need the evidence in the court papers to establish a direct violation under the Race Relations Act.
Anyhow, here is a comment from the poster. It is an interesting comment.
The case of Dr Ubani:Dr Ubani is a European Union registered doctor. He qualified in Germany. The GMC which 'specialises' in victimising ethnic minority doctors based in the UK should have had no problem vetting him or even investigating Dr Ubani after the patient's death due to his alleged negligence.
Instead after the death of the patient, the GMC are back at their xenophobic game , getting their yellow journalists to publish Dr Ubani's photograph (to show that he was African) and thus misrepresenting him as an 'Overseas' and a 'Foreign' doctor. This way the disgusting racists in the GMC are killing two birds with one stone.
First the GMC are playing on the prejudices of the UK public against the term 'Overseas'to justify their historic abuse and persecution of minority doctors in the UK ( whilst showing Ubani's picture to demionstrate what 'Overseas' doctors look like) and second the GMC are justifying their own incompetence in failing to vet Dr Ubani's allegedly deficient communication skills.
The GMC forces graduates from outside the EU to pass the PLAB examination. All the GMC had to do was get Dr Ubani to pass the English Language component.
Instead the GMC and its egregious spinmeisters have been running to the newspapers creating hysteria and warning the public against 'foreign doctors' which is condemnable and reprehensible and obviously a sign of Neo-colonial stress disorder.
