„So I can forgive the first 5 times but the 6th time is absolutely beyond the pale!“
If I’m reading that correctly she was hired by a trust despite not being able to adequately communicate in English. Concerns were first raised in ’19 but she was only suspended in ’21, so she worked in a hospital for two years despite not being able to communicate fully with patients. I wonder how many have suffered or died because of her hubris and the gross dereliction of duty by the trust.
Also baffling that in the 5 years since she was suspended she’s been unable to learn English to any degree of fluency.
i had an invasive procedure and the doctor barely spoke english. she also did other things during the procedure so i contacted PALS and they basically ignored me and told me the doctor denied it so who can say what’s true ¯_(ツ)_/¯. so frustrating and i feel both myself and my bf came out of the appointment so confused about what she actually meant about anything. i asked about pilates and she said not to go swimming? they are different!
Why isn’t the IELTS exam required for foreign doctors? It’s not that hard, especially for someone intelligent enough to qualify as a doctor…wait, is she qualified?
The last time I went into hospital, for nearly 3 weeks due to covid and some of the doctors, assistants and nurses were really hard to understand.
It’s incredibly frustrating trying to answers to medical concerns when they can’t speak even the most basic of English.
Remember, the NHS prioritised these people over doctors born, raised and trained here.

I was in crippling pain in the hospital a year or so ago. The nurses that were there to look after all of us on the ward could barely speak English at all. There were so many arguments and people writhing in pain solely because these nurses had no idea what to do and could barely speak to the patients in English. This country is a disgrace.
Nurses couldn’t speak any English when my dad was at the end of his life in hospital. Was supposed to have morphine every 4 hours but they just didn’t do it no matter how much he asked.
We had to sneak his own morphine from home on and administer it ourselves. Nurses got upset that we were doing this but still didn’t give him his when they were supposed to…
One of the same nurses left me a voicemail to tell me he had died.
happend to my wife – a nurse could barely communicate in English, like she clearly was not able to comprehend concerns my wife was raising, and only could give basic commands that were required during the procedure. It kinds sucks when a medical professional who is making an injection can’t communicate with you.
In no other country in the world would it even be remotely controversial to suggest someone (especially someone in the medical profession) should be fluent in the country’s main language.
