General Chiropractic Council (GCC), dismiss your threat Prosecutions of Dr. Akindele!

We, the undersigned, demand that the General Chiropractic Council ( GCC) dismiss the threat of potential prosecutions of Dr. Kola Akindele . We also demand an end to this witch hunt, endless persecutions which serves to terrorize, punish and silence Dr. Kola in his efforts to continue to serve his community, with his professional skills and talents. I have never seen my husband of 36 years, an honest and caring father and recently a grandfather to an handsome baby boy, so down these past few months, he is obviously heart broken!

For several years, all the frivolous complaints brought against Dr Kola are by his competitors which are unfounded by GCC since 2002,after years of endless hearings taking Dr Kola a lone practitioner, away from his practice where he belongs and serves people. He has endured persistent, long,expensive and tedious hearings in far away London where the hearings often take place for weeks costing him thousands in loss of income, exorbitant legal fees and absences from his loyal patients who adore him.

At the end of last year, November 2017, Dr Kola weighed up all his options of facing endless stress that is gradually shortening his lifespan or becoming like hundreds of former great Chiropractors who had enough of GCC,resigned and moved on. Upon legal advice, he asked GCC for a voluntary erasure from GCC’s register and pursue his career as a Spinal Health Practitioner like others, who had similar experience with GCC, and de-registered carrying on their professional lives  as non Chiropractors, because the Chiropractors GCC 1994 Act only protects  the title of Chiropractors.

The only complaint founded against Dr Kola was the one of Traffic Offence, instigated and compounded by the staff of GCC for failure to name a driver of a car registered to me,caught on camera speeding 34 in 30 MPH zone. He failed to name it because he was not ascertained of the driver but assisted the police to the best of his abilities. He did as much investigation he could do to assist. The local Magistrates even thanked him for all his assistance but of the opinion that he should have written all the eligible drivers in his household, hence fined him and me accordingly. We accepted the convictions and paid the fines.

The GCC’s retention guidelines,advised for the traffic convictions not to be disclosed unless it leads to disqualifications, as Dr Kola was not disqualified from driving, he followed the instructions to the letter, not to disclose it to the GCC(See the attached guidelines). GCC brought a proceedings against him which lasted years in London costing both sides thousands, even though Dr. Kola explained his reasons, why he did what he did, that it was an honest mistakes as misguided on GCC's website. Despite his pleas and his legal team’s pleas to temper justice with mercies in both investigative and full hearing stages. After 2 years, he got suspended for 9 months which started on 31/01/18 after the high court’s challenge failed. In order for Dr Kola to clear his long unblemished career that is subjected to ruins , he is seeking a further appeal at The Court of Appeal, the decision which is still pending.

GCC unlike other regulatory bodies in UK, has no filtering/weeding mechanism in place, hence, all complaints, no matter how frivolous, get to the full hearings in London. These hearings  take years to arrange and weeks of lengthy hearings proper in expensive London. Many Chiropractors have become insolvent, few died as a result. GCC has limited committee members unlike their counterparts, hence the same committee members  can be used repeatedly, therefore prejudicing cases and most of them are put under tremendous pressure from the staff of GCC, whose main objectives are to get hearings on every complaint received,and punitively punish the Chiropractors. 

GCC’s top bosses have been accused of serious criminal cases and forced to resign over the years, due to abuses of their powers.

http://www.quackometer.net/blog/2010/11/chiropractors-at-war-with-their-regulator-the-gcc.html

Now that all the allegations's hearings are coming to a close after long years of stress, Dr Kola’s ordeals are winding down. The GCC is coming down with a threat of allegations that Dr. Kola is calling himself a Chiropractor and threatening to prosecute him when he had not done so since the end of 2017, when he voluntarily requested erasure from GCC’s register and the fact that the application for appeal at the UPPER COURT is subsisting.

Dr. Kola’s practice is very unique as he does other therapies like Electro therapies, Laser, Ultrasound, Diathermy, EMS, Russian Stim, Acupuncture, Acupressure, soft tissue works, Spinal construction, joint mobilisations/manipulations, Homoeopathy, etc to treat Neuro muscular, Skeletal problems, All Sports and Personal Injuries as trained with long, reputable experience and positive outcomes.

He was trained in America with a long term reputations of working there and in the UK. He should be allowed to continue to practise and help people of his rural communities where he chooses to practise,  as he does for more than 24 years, provided he has an adequate Professional Indemnity Insurance in place just like other former great Chiropractors who have been hounded out of the profession. He has 3 daughters ,the youngest one is a 21 year old, currently in a foreign Medical University in the 4th year out of 6 years, Dr. Kola is wholly and financially responsible for her and me his wife,with ill health and a cancer survival patient. He just recently became a proud granddad to our lovely grandson. 

Dr. Kola and I were unfortunate to have also suffered a huge financial losses in 2010 when his practice in a Listed Grade 2* building was caught in the spate of several Arsonists' fire attacks in a Gorgeous Georgian market town of Wisbech, Cambridgeshire. The town suffers Millions of pounds of properties loss and damages, the district were lucky no lives were lost. The local Arsonist was eventually caught, he later confessed and the area is gradually self re - building as insurers weren’t helpful to all the victims. We personally lost about five hundred thousands pounds (£500K) worth of damages, as usual, our Insurer like others refused to adequately compensate us, we got compensated for about 10% of our total damages with invitation for us to sue them. Could you imagine us suing a big insurance company with capable in house legal team? One must be in sane to do so, when one is already down in luck financially. We lost business incomes and great employees as a result. We are consequently left with a huge debts to rebuild and move on with our lives, Dr. Kola as a bread winner of his family, needs his livelihood to pay back our creditors.

GCC must please leave this nice, jovial,hard working,honest, Christian professional family man alone, (Eddy Murphy’s look alike). Enough should now be enough since 2002. It is not very nice to concentrate on ruining an innocent man’s life because he didn’t report a traffic offence that he was advised not to do.

Thank you for your supports and cooperation.

Yours faithfully,

Mrs Akindele

 Dear Keziah,

Thank you for your advice which I am leaving to your professional judgement of doing the best as you see fit.

Regarding the publication of the allegations of the vacated hearing, is it not too much to ask the GCC to remove it from the website to avoid the situation you had just explained to me about the Chiropractor PCC member and potential patients seeing such negative things about  me? As it's considered unlawful, should just unlawful allegations be published?

I believe this and others may be adversely affecting my practice as I never witnessed such a bid drop like this before.

 

Thank you for your advice and have a great weekend.

 

Kind regards,

KA

 Dear Mr Kavanagh

 The Council intend to submit a written application the Chair of the PCC to vacate the hearing as soon as is practicable; should this not be practicable, the Council will make an oral application on the first day of the hearing to vacate.

 Summary of Application

 Having reviewed this case, the Council is of the view that the IC’s referral to the PCC was unlawful; that the allegation as formulated by the IC should not stand, and, cannot therefore be the basis for any hearing before the PCC; and that it is in the public interest for this matter to be remitted back to the IC for reconsideration.

London

WC1X 9 HL

Dear Mr Burton,

Re: My 2018 Retention on GCC' Register

This is to officially inform you that sadly due to my continued financial situations originated since April 2010 after an arsonist fire incidence which negatively affected my practice, I suffered a financial loss of about half a million pounds(£500K) however, due to questionable issues of under insurance, I was only compensated for 10% of the loss. This with adverse economic climate have negatively affect my practice. In order not to disappoint my loyal patients, make a livelihood and providing for my family, I keep going.

Now several frivolous complaints being entertained and compounded by the staff of GCC including yourself are causing me a lot of stress, negative reputations, loss of my business income, and financial woes. Also recent events and my wife's recent health issues as a result of the above are compounding the dire circumstances I innocently find myself. I therefore cannot, shall not and will not apply for retention of 2018 GCC registration in order to save little sanity and whatever life left in me.

Primarily, I am presently considering insolvency which shall prevent me from using credit cards, applying for loans, etc. Frankly, if I apply for retention I must use a credit card, unfortunately the financial advise I am getting is no longer to do so.

With heavy heart, I cannot continue to be a part of an organisation that is going to kill me. Anyone who knows me personally don't recognise everything that GCC have against me are putting indelible ink on my name. I have never intentionally broken any law in my life, I might have made mistakes but no one is above mistakes. I have always work very hard, every thing I have is a product of my sweat and people who know me are aware of these facts. However, in my case, spurious and endless unfounded allegations against me are disturbing my peace and my calling to help people.

When other registrants make worse mistakes than mine, they are given the benefits of doubts, when it is me, I get crucified for whatever reason best known to you all. Why would honestly mistakenly interpreting a guide as written on the GCC's website equate to unprofessional conduct and dishonesty warranting a lengthy suspension and black marks on my good name? These didn't have anything to do with my clinical conduct. Why did traffic offences that had not led to disqualification according to GCC's own stipulations that already incurred unprecedented punitive fines in the court of law ending up with such a harsh punishment by GCC? What  are traffic offence have to do with me being a Chiropractor are being entertained by the GCC? The facts are, the staff of the GCC equate my practice success/ good reputations with monetary success, they are all after that and my life as well but I shall not allow it.

 In a nutshell, please accept this letter as my notice of my financial and emotional incapacity to keep my retention on GCC's register any longer.

Please note that this letter and others injustice I experience over the years in the hands of staff of GCC, and GCC's members shall be published on my future and 'would be changed website'. Let the people decide!

It is a continuous sad day for me.

Yours sincerely,
