If you’re in The UK, and your doctor refers you to a consultant, and that consultant is called Dr Augustine Okolie: run a mile. Ask for someone else. Refuse to go.

This is a man who: - refused to document symptoms that did not fit his preferred diagnosis - refused to correct the false information he recorded - made up symptoms in order to justify his preferred diagnosis. - minor compared to the rest, but was incredibly condescending, patronising, and sarcastic in person. - repeatedly tried to explain to me how I supposedly felt, and refused to listen when I said that was incorrect. - literally lied on my medical record, and it can’t be removed and the best I’ve been able to do after a year is get the NHS to agree to put a letter in front of his report THAT I HAD TO WRITE MYSELF, stating that it would be unethical to use his report because it deviates so far from reality.

The local service who hired him apparently couldn’t do anything about his behaviour (because he was a locum, and left shortly after my encounter with him) The ombudsman said they couldn’t do anything about it, and directed me to the GMC The General medical council said they wouldn’t do anything about it and tried to direct me back to the onbudsman, then the local service. Then NHS England. Nhs England directed me to my area’s clinical commissioning group. They said they’d look into it. And never got back to me.

So apparently no one cares that this man is at best inept and at worse actually knowingly falsifying patient records.

And I’m writing this post on tumblr because there is apparently nothing else I can do. No one cares, no one is there to police this man, or stop him hurting anyone else. So this is it. This is the best I can do.
