@C7RKY yeah mate. The doctor committed suicide later but I don't know if it's related to the mistake he made -
@AngrybriTony That's the other side of this coin - NHS create an environment where telling the truth is more feared than lying. Staff suffer -
@C7RKY yep. That's 2 lives needlessly lost. -
@AngrybriTony And if it were possible to make it worse... I bet nobody learned a thing, because it will all have been brushed under the rug. -
@C7RKY I'm not really sure. It went quiet but the girls family were next of kin and didn't get on with my mate, so he never heard from them -
@AngrybriTony Very few complain meaningfully tbh, because they're scared of repurcussions/don't think it'll get anywhere. Even fewer succeed -
@AngrybriTony *repercussions* ...but you knew that. :) -
@C7RKY ha ha. I did mate. Whistleblowing is frowned upon. - 4 more replies
