Let’s face it: there are a few things they don’t teach you at medical school.
One of them is what to do when the NHS decides you are the problem in a whistleblowing case.
I have spent the last twelve years learning this lesson and have had some interesting tutors.
I was a resident doctor in a South London Intensive Care Unit when I raised concerns about night-time staffing levels. The sort of concerns that make NHS executives stop smiling mid-sentence. The sort of concerns that later get described as “serious” once enough time has passed and enough lawyers have been paid.

🚨 Unplanned weight loss is a red flag!
In acute illness, weight loss is especially harmful as the body breaks down muscle for energy, leading to:
🔥 Reduced strength
🩹 Slower healing
🦠 Increased infection risk
