21^stApril 2013 [blog No. 23 of 23]

Hello again, it’s me, Peggy

I wish to refer you here to the bottom of my last blog (blog 22) where I copied-in the letter from Mr Cooke (Orthopaedic Surgeon) at the Nuffield Hospital in Oxford. Mr Cooke had been recommended by Sir Graeme Catto (the then “Chair” previously “President” at the GMC) via The Rt. Hon Mr Kevin J Barron MP, my local MP.

The letter addressed to Chris Blundell (Orthopaedic Surgeon) at the Sheffield Northern General Hospital, was Headed “Final Report” and it incorrectly referred to 12 May 2009 being the date I attended Mr Cooke’s Foot & Ankle Clinic at the Nuffield Hospital as opposed to the correct date being 15^th May 2009.

Furthermore, I had informed Mr Cooke when at his Clinic on 15/5/2009 that I had not and would not be able to obtain treatment at the SNGH due to what I had discovered written in my Medical Records held at that hospital. However, Mr Cooke insisted that I would obtain treatment once he had written to Mr Blundell. My attendance at Mr Cooke’s clinic was sound recorded by my husband, so what I am saying to you here I can prove is in fact correct.

You can also clearly see from Mr Cooke’s letter to Blundell that Cooke informed Blundell that I had been referred to him by the Ombudsman’s office. I allege that he did this with intent on ensuring that I would not receive any treatment from Blundell. He was simply covering the backs of his colleagues in the medical crippling industry, and it worked. On the fax to Blundell from my new GP where and when I had insisted that Blundell actually grant me a consultation, it is hand written at the bottom Right-hand corner of the fax “allow 1 hour for Legal issues”. I never did receive any treatment from Blundell nor anyone else since for that matter. This tells me that they are still covering one-another’s backs.

I wrote to the Ombudsman’s Office requesting a copy of the aforementioned referral to Mr Paul Cooke at the Nuffield Hospital in Oxford but to this very day I have not been provided with a copy, albeit the newly appointed Ombudsman preaches “Transparency when dealing with NHS Complaints”. No change there then!!!

These people (NHS Consultants) cannot properly serve two masters. Yet when I checked on Chris Blundell by Googling “Chris Blundell” I saw that he, like others, also treated patients in a Private capacity at the Claremont and Thornberry Hospitals, that apart from him being Chairman at Sheffield Orthopaedics Ltd. Any reasonable thinking person (as would be required in law) would realise that there is a case of a conflict of interests here.  

Today, prior to updating this blog I Googled “David Dandy” who was the Orthopaedic Surgeon in Cambridge and who had agreed to operate on my Right knee in November 1989 due to the botched surgery I had received at the hands of Majumdar. Dandy himself, once he became aware of the pending litigation against Madjumdar, operated on my knee and failed (I allege wilfully) to identify and remove the bony lesion that was to be seen on the medial aspects of my Right knee in LAT VIEW x-rays of my right knee. This left me crippled. I suggest you visit the blog on David Dandy. I copy part of it below here, for your information.

Now this is the man who advised my husband in May 1990 that I had a mind problem not a knee problem, and referred me back to my then GP advising that I be referred onto a psychiatrist. I allege he did this to cover the back of Pratif Majumdar, his colleague, who had left me crippled at the age of 45 after the knee operation in1987.

On 5^th November 1996, Mr Zeraati, Orthopaedic Surgeon Bassetlaw Hospital, was the first Consultant to advise me of the bony lesion being present and seen in Bassetlaw Hospital Lat View X-rays dated 19/08/91 of my Right knee. When I told him that Dandy had operated on my Right knee in November 1989 he said, and I quote, Dandy missed the bugger. The 19/08/91 LAT VIEW x-ray in which Zeraati identified the bony lesion, was the very same x-ray that those at the Bassetlaw Hospital denied existed.

When asked Zeraati to confirm that he had seen the 19/08/91 Lat View x-ray of my Right knee at the consultation with him on 5/11/96, and that he had identified the bony lesion that was seen situated on the medial aspects of my knee in that film, he said it was more than his job was worth!!

This shows that even Mr Zeraati was party to the back-covering culture. Once again, where is the Hippocratic Oath in all of this??

This true story continues…..
