An example of the willingness of doctors to comply with political influence in clinical decisions has been exposed today. The case of Abdelbaset Ali Mohamed al-Megrahi yields political scandal on a daily basis. Today, there are reports that bring doubt to the validity that the medical report that was the basis of his release. Professor Karol Sikora, the medical director of CancerPartnersUK has confessed to the Sunday Telegraph, “The figure of three months was suggested as being helpful”. Duly instructed, that is what the report stated. Meanwhile in Tripoli, Megrahi has been moved out of intensive care.
Such behaviour is endemic thought the medical profession, as my experiences have shown. Doctors in the NHS are far too keen to comply with instructions as to what decisions they should make. In my case the FTAC, through the police, instructed the doctors of East London NHS to detain me and they very willingly complied.
The support from members of the public services that the Labour party enjoys makes this even easier for the government. If anyone makes any statement against the Labour government, they have plenty of willing supporters who will use whatever powers they have to act against the complainant. This is especially true within the police and NHS; both have the power to detain people. In the latter case, the poor detainee is stripped of their human rights and very limited right of appeal to a hugely biased tribunal service. That is why the government created the FTAC.
