Medical Mobbing is a classical phenomena few are aware of. I have certainly been subjected to this so I feel able to write about it. When it happens at the General Medical Council, the only way to get yourself out of it is to win the complaints procedures or legal challenges. At the time, I was subjected to a Department of Health - GMC team Sham Peer review. I did indeed win the Presidential Review following the GMC's decision to throw out my complaint against Professor Rod Griffiths. At the time, I was alone against the Department of Health's team of lawyers. What a waste of tax payers money those lawyers are. Nevertheless, they do like spewing rubbish page after page. The part that amused me was the bit where Griffiths had suggested that if there was no drip-set on the ward during an emergency, one must call the cardiac arrest team. It got a bit embarrassing for the lawyers, when I waved the hospital's own cardiac arrest guidance at them. This is the problem with some people, they believe that sprouting rubbish because they have titles like " Dr, Professor, or Sir" will hold water against a junior doctor. This is why I always say to everyone, always check what is being said to you and ensure its evidence based. This specifically misleading comment was made to conceal the fact that wards were short of basic equipment and no-one actually wanted to admit it. The way the establishment works is to retire those who are under threat by evidence. This is indeed what happened there. Despite winning the Review and establishing the GMC were wrong, Griffiths retired and eventually the second investigation became academic. The GMC screeners gruffed a bit with their wonderful use of words. Basically, they are full of hot air most of the time twisting and turning their decisions to suit the agenda of the great medical establishment. Its unknown for juniors to win against the wrath of the GMC but in my view anything is possible always. Anyway, this part is really quite funny. El Presidente [ex] of our totalitarian ruling regulatory body was questioned. http://www.parliament.uk/business/committees/committees-a-z/commons-select/health-committee/inquiries/parliament-2010/general-medical-council-2013/ ‘’Q10 Charlotte Leslie: To follow the points Sir David was making, do you recognise or acknowledge that sham peer review takes place? Professor Sir Peter Rubin: What do you mean by “sham peer review”?’’ Ofcourse, one has to just sigh or laugh. Anyway, those who wish to read my tale with the NHS, please do buy this. To read part of the tale, Amazon has a short summary http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-North-Staffordshire-Whistleblower-Executive-ebook/dp/B0058VFJBG For anyone on benefit, a free copy available so just mail me. For all those interested in medical mobbing. Here is the research on it. http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/rita-pal/medical-mobbing_b_1010045.html I love studying medical mobbing in many ways because I certainly know even whistleblowers jump into a gang to attack those they dislike. I guess the medical club culture doesn't disappear fast and old habits die hard. Anyone engaging in mobbing makes a fascinating study in human behaviour. They are often insecure individuals who fail to think with their mind. Moreover, they tend to like behaving like sheep because being with a group makes them more acceptable to the media, society or groups they strive to seek acceptance from. If you are subject to mobbing, I wouldn't get upset about it, I would just move on. You can fight it of course, thats if you can be bothered with dysfunctional people. If you do fight, always fight to win because there is no time or space for weakness. Rita Pal
