Over the years, [ ten years in medicine in my case], I have demonstrated the various instances of doctors and NHS managers believing they have a right to shoot whistleblowers on sight. Of course, in the NHS, no one needs a gun to kill a person's career. No one needs a gun to kill a whistleblower. The usual hatred of whistleblowers is self evident through the behaviour of many doctors. Many feel it is somehow their duty to the state to rid the world of whistleblowers. These notes by me are made online because it is important to play out some tales in full public view. I am not impressed with the rosey view created by the coalition government. I am not impressed by the media's view of whistleblowers. I think they like keeping us all in a "Victim" cage. Poor us, whistleblowers who have no lives, who are obsessed with their cases and who should be pitied. Of course, I view whistleblowers a little differently. They are all highly intelligent individuals, trying to make their way in the world. And if the world of medicine would give them one fucking break - it may well make them more human rather than superhuman.
I have demonstrated my own experience first with Doctors.net.uk, many of its users felt obliged to refer me to the GMC because they felt that my material was controversial. The problem with playing with me is that I am not one to pity people. As soon as the GMC threatened to unmask the doctors, the complaints were dropped. That was then. These days anonymous complaints are taken up and welcomed by the GMC [ as demonstrated by the Sarah Myhill case].
Following that, Sheila Mann, the old hag straight from the Royal College of Psychiatrists advised as screener to the GMC. She was so desperate to find some element of madness that her high water mark ended up flat on its face. She admitted that a "typographical error" was the high water mark of my apparent madness. Yes, the entire court was silent in disbelief until the audience tittered.
Of course, it was too late by then because the mindset of the GMC was already well developed. They decided they were going to undermine me, throw out all my complaints to discredit me and following on from that, they were going to somehow establish that they were always right. In ten years, each piece of evidence has proven them wrong. They remain speechless and impotent. The GMC has no answers now.
Each and every consultant who subsequently found out about my past, shut down on me. We can name legions of them. Most simply did the wisest thing and kept their mouth zipped up.
Others were led by some kind of compulsion to destroy my earning potential and my livelihood. I have already described
Dr Anders Skarsten and his 7 panel mates who decided to support a criminal rather than a whistleblower. Anders was such a slimeball - before he knew I was a whistleblower, he would ring me up in the dead of night complimenting me and fawning all over my work, like some desperate puppy. He sent me flowers on my birthday etc. Yes, we all knew why he did all this. It wasn't kindness but then I knew about empty men and desperate male doctors and normally smiled, nodded and walked away. Evolution has never been kind to the development of their mind, emotions and the contents of their trousers. Everything remained tiny apart from their wallet. In those days, I had my own platinum American express so wallets just didn't interest me.
It all changed of course as soon as he found out about my whistleblowing ways. It is amazing how fast the wind does change. I have these fantasies of standing in the middle of an NHS hospital and screaming " I am an NHS Whistleblower, Get Me Out of Here" :). I often wonder what the reaction would be. It would be just like Skarsten's reaction. At least there were no midnight phonecalls from drunk consultants telling you how wonderful you are. If there was a fly on my wall, it would have observed that I left the phone by the bed while filing my nails and occasionally returned to it and said words like " I agree, absolutely, definitely, you are right". How does one deal with a drunk consultant oncall? I didn't complain, I just hoped it would eventually disappear.
One of Skarsten's SHOs complained of sexual harassment but the team of shrinks in Northamptonshire did very well to conceal it. Consultants have a excellent manner in which this is done covertly. No junior actually stands a chance in a complaint like that.
He claimed to be depressed at his Employment Tribunal while having detailed phone sex with a girl I knew very well. Perhaps that was just temporary "severe" depression. His 5 year warning at the GMC was given due to an element of pity. The GMC pities people like him. We note that despite his admissions of depression, Dr Sheila Mann, the old hag did not discreetly inquiry into his life or his past. It was a different kettle of fish when it came to me. I have no idea what gives people like her the right to sneak around in my life then admit it in the GMC memos. Her admission of a discreet inquiry is actually historical. Just goes to show the creepy and low levels people employed by the GMC can stoop to.
Lastly, we have Worcestershire Mental Health Trust who jumped straight into bed with the General Medical Council and decided to join in the party of lying. They deceived the court together after they discovered I was a whistleblower. Deception is common. The GMC engages in it all the time. When people like me expose it, we are called obsessional or disaffected. Worcestershire Mental Health Trust developed a compulsion to shoot me. They had the option of keeping their large nosey snout out of my court challenge with the GMC. Instead, they decided to rub baby oil all over the GMC's body. The GMC was indeed all loved up and for a while it didn't act like a spurned lover.
When I was cleared, Worcestershire Mental Health Trust and its half crazed management had nothing to say. Having fraternised with the GMC and joined them in sessions of lust, they found themselves in a huge predicament when the very court case they had created was used against them. The two doctors found themselves at the mercy of the General Medical Council. Lying has consequences especially when some of us are fairly good at keeping our eyes open. It is a fantastic irony that the very case law they had been involved in creating was used as an instrument of their downfall. The Medical Director behaved like a rat on a sinking ship. He left his job as MD, has resident GMC hotshot panellist, as examiner and became a "jobbing doctor". Of course, all this would never have happened if they had kept their large snout away from their usual compulsion of shooting the whistleblower.
So in summary, I believe whistleblowers should have a zero tolerance policy. In my view, those who have tried to harm me in any way have had the same issues reversed back on them. This is not done out of revenge but more out of a principle I believe in. I have carried out an experiment to combat medical mobbing. This kind of high risk tactical manoeuvre cannot be carried out unless you know how to control the situation. It is potentially the only way I lasted in the NHS for 10 years. As a junior doctor, the half life of a whistleblower is dire. I don't believe any junior doctor should ever whistleblow due to these kinds of repercussions. The medical fraternity is close knit and news flies fast. Most doctors believe that whistleblowers should be destroyed and they take great satisfaction in instigating a situation where your livelihood is crippled. The depth of intellectual corruption and wickedness towards whistleblowers is not understood by many members of the public. There has been no change in culture especially in the UK. I doubt there will be much change although the current campaign by Remedy UK brings a ray of hope.
The above are examples of doctors I have come across. The pattern is largely the same for many whistleblowers. Combating mobbing very early on is extremely important because lack of action is a surefire way to creating a situation of no return. All whistleblowers need to think tactically and psychologically as opposed to being crippled in the victim mode. It is very easy to be crippled by fear of fear itself. The art is to take yourself out of the situation and work out a plan of action that will indeed be of advantage to you. Unfortunately, as demonstrated on this website, my plans tend bear fruit after many many years. That is the nature of the system - it is slow, it is laborious and it takes hard work. The reason it is done by me is to demonstrate the poor quality of the system we exist in.
For me, the result is this - I don't recognise the authority of the GMC because it has effectively failed me. I don't have any respect for the medical fraternity because it has been instrumental in attempting to assassinate my livelihood. I don't have very much respect for authority because it has not assisted in this devastating situation. Therefore, despite being an established evidence based whistleblower, no one had any solutions to the repercussions of whistleblowing - so I developed my own solutions the hard way. I look back at the above, and life was meant to be simpler - yet, it became so complex.
