Contrast this w experiences where have had to leave critically ill child to call consultant myself because they wouldn’t accept message from team member (nurse/HCA) that I needed them to come to review urgently. Not helpful if only one pair of hands, and again - we're a team.

Or the doctor who takes over and won’t work with other members of a team because of an I’m always right and other professionals are wrong attitude. Can be road to disaster.

I must be the first person in the world who has ever been discharged as a Wilson’s disease carrier with KF rings (eye changes caused by copper) because a Cons was floating around mis-claiming to be the ‘expert here’ & would not agree with first 3 Ophthalmologists’ assessment.

Ophthalmologists’ opinion didn’t fit with his own incorrect opinion; so, he made it fit. Later denied it although it’s evidenced in writing in 2nd paragraph of his final clinic letter. Astounded he was allowed to deny it when it is in writing. Guess it happens. Good & bad in h/s

I don't know your story. I do know that my mistakes have tended to be trying to squeeze round pegs into square holes until something serious gave way or someone else spotted it and got involved. Gets more likely the more senior you become, and the consequences potentially bigger

He also misquoted experts as agreeing with him that WD carriers can have eye changes&18 mths after I was discharged from his clinic suggested in writing I didn’t need to see a Neurologist as recommended-this time misquoting recorded neuro signs as symptoms previously described.

Sorry to hear this - it has a familiar feel to it, sadly. There's obviously a good reason why we now have what looks like a second call for a statutory individual duty of candour from an inquiry, despite a professional & contractual duty already existing.https://twitter.com/c7rky/status/958705170845716481 …

There R 3 problems/errors in this paragraph from his final clinic letter alone.Most obvious is that WD heterozygotes are not known to have eye changes.Wouldn’t share this but he refused to acknowledge his mistakes or accept WD experts’ advice. He's a risk to me.+should be honestpic.twitter.com/1IHZ641tUe

+how much learning has been lost in improving services because he would not admit errors/problems caused; & because he was allowed to do that? Just in case anyone is misled by his comments this is what a world expert wrote after he read the clinic letter.He may have been in shockpic.twitter.com/9pXBmozLJX

Ha! He obviously felt it worthy of repeating. I understand completely. I'm not even going to start sharing my own list of examples - we'd be back to that multi-tweet conversation again. But a glance at my pinned tweet will give you a taste.

I have gathered together quite a collection of 'conflicting extracts' from medical records/correspondence. Too many to share. Will take a look at your Tweet.
