Yes Hadiza got practical crowdfunding with a great deal of help of whistleblowers @54kdoctors and others. IMO Hadiza's case is related to whistleblowing, in the sense that this is what could happen when you obediently try and work through a dangerous system

Related to whistleblowing how? I'm not sure I follow your thinking. I'm afraid patients are not viewing this from the same angle. We just see a profession appealing a convicted criminal's erasure & blaming the 'system', despite the court's words. Smacks of self-serving I'm afraidpic.twitter.com/ccaVI4y6A6

I agree we should learn all we can from all sources. But this crash would never have happened - the pilots wouldn't have remained silent or accepted inaction so the system would've been fixed. Self preservation is best served by speaking up in aviation, but silence in healthcare.

I LOVE that you did that. I know there'll be plenty who will tell me why I'm as wrong to support you as you were to do it, but that's exactly the kind of thing that draws attention. I know there's no such thing as

Knowing as I do just how much money they're prepared to spend defending against complaints of negligent harm - which I suspect your decision may have helped prevent - then you likely saved the trust a fortune, relatively speaking. 1 serious case avoided would probably cover it...
