The Medical Records Saga
Infantile, cretinous and somewhat sinister attempt to deceive me into having a psychiatric assessment with the friend of a man I had just complained to the GMC about. The reason this page has been updated is that I spoke to a GP by the name of Gavin McColl at the Greenlaw Surgery. I told him that Mark McAllister had a very low quality Facebook page. When I returned to the page, I noticed the link to a smelly video and other low life football related material had gone. I assume because Gavin or his brother told him. Gavin's brother Craig told me he knew McAllister.
This is the video. Warning: unless you are a low life individual like Mark
McAllister, you will
find this fairly disgusting.
Prologue
I have created this page not to castigate those involved but to reveal the workings of the system which lead my *brother to observe that 'a doctor looks after his patients, a rat looks after his fellow rats'. This was following a speech he gave to the senior management of Toronto Sick Children's Hospital in 1977 in which he stated that he would never again cover up for miscreant colleagues (misprescribing drugs to children with severe burns).
* He's actually my cousin. We grew up together from birth. His parents were my legal guardians. He has 5,000 references in Google Scholar. Part career here. Did first internship at Dykebar Hospital.
This was partly because GPs tried to cover up for an alcoholic colleague responsible for my other brother's wife's miscarriage. He understood the horror and pain of dealing with scum (GPs) lying through their brainless teeth. My sister in law tried to commit suicide. A successful complaint was made to the GMC by him (a chief consultant and medical professor) simply asking the GP(s) questions he correctly believed he couldn't answer.
That's why I conducted this complaint in writing. It was very deliberate
entrapment of what appeared to me to be individuals of somewhat limited
intelligence and ability to communicate.
Which leads to
This is the story of how Harold Shipman was caught. He tried to embezzle almost half a million pounds from a grown up, intelligent lawyer whose husband was a physics professor by killing her mother and forging her will. Unfortunately, like the doctors in this story and the aforementioned GP, he massively overrated his intelligence and couldn't even write coherent English. The arrogance he acquired meant he was a profoundly stupid man who was hugely less intelligent than his father, who was a lorry driver.
"What was wrong with them? They were amateurish, the phraseology was poor,
and the typing quality was poor. It was actually on a document, the type you
can get from a post office or a newsagents. There was a request for the body
to be cremated, for example, which was not how Angela Woodruff had
understood that her mother wanted her remains to be disposed of".

This is exactly how I perceive everyone involved in this nonsense. GP Gavin McColl said more stupid things to me in five minutes than my neighbours have in 20 years. None of them have been to university. The difference between talking to Gavin and more senior colleague Dr Slaven was literally the difference between talking to an adult and a child. I was furious because I knew I would never get a word of sense out of him.
"However, when it came to a higher level of understanding, researchers found that today's pupils were much less successful than in the 1970s. This could be described as a process of "dumbing down", says Professor Shayer, in which the culture of learning favours an instant, superficial way of handling information.http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/7692843.stm
I have never thought of people as being stupid before but these young doctors are the dumbest people I have ever met. I had an HND class once who couldn't do any academic work. I never thought of them as being stupid human beings. Of course they weren't arrogant scum like the doctors and that really is the difference.
Summary.
I was told the only way to get information I requested was to see my medical records. A letter arrived with an appropriate leaflet. It turned out to be for a psychiatric assessment with the friend of someone I had just made a complaint to the GMC. I got no reply from a letter enquiring about the nature of the appointment. I told a GP what had happened, he contacted the psychiatrist (his friend). I got a full admission of what happened but also another offer of an appointment. That really gave me the creeps and made me decide to create this website.
Part 1.
I was initially treated with contempt by the head of the IHTT, Nurse Kevin Hernon, completely ignoring my first letter of complaint, refusing to tell me names of witnesses that I needed for a GMC complaint or why I had a blood test. I apologised in the letter for bypassing him due to him being team leader (and most likely to be responsible for orchestrating the abuse). He refused to answer my calls. When I threatened to contact a director of the CHP, he responded that the only way to get the information was to see my medical records. I simply didn't believe that.
I wondered what kind of human being I was dealing with. A Google search revealed he was a nurse which I have to say 'surprised' me but also his Facebook page. This is he.
This is a wee video he made of himself doing the ice bucket challenge. Now we know what we are dealing with. The photo on the left clearly identifies him and his pals as sink estate individuals. I worked in Ferguslie Park for years. I liked these people but the idea of putting one in charge of a mental health crisis unite truly horrifies me.
However, I contacted head of admin Jean Still about seeing the records. She was consistently evasive, obstructive, abrasive and abrupt from the start , so I phoned the CHP director's secretary Anne Gallagher (by far the most intelligent, human and decent person involved).
She told me she had passed the request to to Jean Still. I got a phone call from head of patient services Nurse Alex Buchanan about said medical records. He was aggressive, dismissive and offhand when I suggest interviews with vulnerable individuals should be recorded, before running away when I said there was a serious problem with the IHTT. He also refused to take my calls.
Part 2
I then received a letter from a Dr Kinniburgh asking me to go for an appointment. In the envelope was stuffed a leaflet about medical records. I immediately smelled a rat because the letter itself didn't mention medical records, it was a standard patient appointment letter. I called his secretary twice, each time she lied the appointment had been made my GP despite me telling her three reasons it couldn't have been him. Kinniburgh also told me the same lie through a 3rd party. GPs can't make appointments, only referrals. I hadn't seen him for 5 months.
In fact it was done with the collusion of my former GP Craig McColl who shouted at me because he was furious I had complained to the GMC about his friend, Mark McAllister. Remarkably McColl admitted to doing something he couldn't have done, namely make an appointment for me. As just stated GPs can't make appointments, only referrals. He is a very stupid and a very cheeky boy.
He was particularly upset when I told him at Dr Pope had revealed Mark McAllister had exactly the same abusive behaviour issues at university. At one point I told him I hadn't been elated at the Charleston Centre. I was furious he had gone behind my back and the gormless twit pointed at me to indicate that I was elated. It's clear from my medical records that he doesn't even understand the meaning of the words he uses. I made an appointment to see an adult, the senior partner, Dr Slaven next day who confirmed that I was not elated (but upset).
I wrote to Kinniburgh asking for clarification. Preposterously he didn't reply even though he had made an appointment with me. He would certainly have incriminated himself if he had. The hubris and contempt for patients of these people is astonishing.
Another fundamental issue is that his secretary spoke to me as if I was a dog, ignoring everything I said. I know this is a horrible thing to say, but it was like talking to a three year old.
The letter itself wouldn't have fooled a dog (or a GP). What were they going to do when they got me to the hospital ? Did they think I wouldn't notice ?
I confirmed that McAllister had made the appointment in a conversation with someone at Dykebar Hospital who accessed the computer records. It was for a psychiatric assessment with his colleague, Alistair Kinniburgh, not to see medical records as was suggested by the leaflet. I said 'do you know a horrible, creepy obnoxious little man by the name of Mark McAllister'. She laughed and said 'I certainly do'.
I spoke to a GP (Dr Craig McColl* at Greenlaw) telling him I had discovered the subterfuge. He nearly jumped out of his skin. He (must have) related Kinniburgh who sent me another, even creepier
letter, with even more lies, again asking me to have an appointment. He acknowledged that he hadn't replied to me and the appointment had been made by his colleague Mark McAllister. He claimed McAllister was concerned about my mental health and wanted to make an appointment. for me. If he was concerned, he would have said so back in September when last saw him and not wait until the end of November, just after I had complained to the GMC .
The unspeakable cheek and hubris of this little guy is unbelievable. Not only are they incredibly slimy they are knuckle dragging morons.
This is Kinniniburgh's letter to me.
For example
1.
I am sorry that you did not attend today for our first appointment.He claims this was dictated on the 9th, but not sent until the 18th , received on 22nd. I assume that is a lie.
2. I acknowledge that you had already written to me about certain matters and I had not yet responded.
That's because he would have incriminated himself by having to admit the appointment was for a psychiatric assessment made by his friend, not to see medical records.
3. The reason I have sent you this appointment is that your General Practitioner referred you to Paisley Mental Health Services earlier this year as he thought you were unwell and requested specialist advice.
Another lie (or mistaken assumption). I confirmed with my GP that I asked him to speak to a psychiatrist about an unknown (but assumed medical) exhaustion problem that I had presented to a number of GPs over the years. He (GP) says the (specific) referral to the IHTT had nothing to do with him and he couldn't understand it. I have a letter from CHP director David Lees discussing the appropriateness of Olanzapine for anxiety. Nothing else. They only said that because I told them I had suffered anxiety in the past.
4. You will remember subsequently attending Dr McAllister's clinic at the Charleston Centre. Dr. McAllister to some extent agreed with your GP's concerns regarding your mental health and had hoped to offer you a full assessment and possibly some treatment.
This is simply compounding the previous mendacity. I saw McAllister for the first and only time on 13th September for around 15 minutes. I refused to see him again next day. I was discharged from the IHTT on the 17th September, I discharged myself from his and Dianne Jeffrey's care shortly after. I refused an appointment with him around the same time at the reception of the Charleston Centre. I told two nurses that I would never see him again. There is no question that message would have been relayed to him because the appointment was changed to another doctor.
If he was concerned about my health, he would have mentioned his concern about me around then, not on the 29th November when the Kinniburgh appointment letter was sent and after he had heard from the GMC to whom I had made a compliant about him. This was obviously an act of retribution or self defence at the very least. Kinninburgh was extremely foolish to get involved in this plot without knowing anything about me or the complaint against McAllister. Dr Kinniburgh was lying in that letter, which is pretty unpleasant behaviour for any adult, never mind a doctor.
There was a general tactic to claim I had an unspecified mental health condition in order to draw me into treatment or to accuse me of having one to justify their behaviour . To be lured to a mental hospital under false pretences by someone with legal powers of detention, who appeared to be looking for revenge was disturbing. Especially after I had been discharged with no mention of a mental health issue.
However, the original idea for seeing medical records came from Nurse Hernon.
Subjecting whistle blowers to psychiatric assessments is apparently a common tactic in the NHS according to paediaterician whistleblower David Drew. In his book, 'Little Stories of Life and Death' he details how it was used against him. Dr Drew is of course a man at the opposite end of the human decency scale from the perpetrators of this scam .
There is a separate page about the Greenlaw GP practice here
This is evil.
Exclusive: NHS watchdog claimed that whistle blower Kay Sheldon was 'mentally ill'
After a short telephone conversation and without ever meeting Mrs Sheldon, who has a 26-year history of depression and is an expert in advocacy and patients’ rights, the doctor described her as possibly suffering from “paranoid schizophrenia”. He also “strongly recommended” that Sheldon’s medical history be obtained “in confidence” and that she should be “assessed or else removed from her position”.

Scots widow of ‘wrongly sectioned’ duke calls for mental health overhaul
The Duke of Hamilton, who was the Premier Peer of Scotland, was suffering from vascular dementia when he was sectioned under a short-term certificate in 2009.
His wife described how the couple were duped into visiting hospital by a psychiatrist and mental health worker who claimed they wanted to assess the Duke’s medication over a 48-hour period.
Revealing she has never been offered an explanation for the detention of her husband, who died months later aged 71, Lady Hamilton insisted no one medical practitioner should have the power to
