I am here because Dr G*** referred me as I said I see no point in continuing my life as I am now with 40 years of my life destroyed by an intentional misdiagnosis and being labelled erroneously as a mental patient. I have fought Dr A's misdiagnosis as a high-risk suicide and his refusal to be honest and professional, when I ask questions, for 10 years

You should have in my notes details of my on going complaint against Dr ---------Med director etc etc as I have ALWAYS stated that is the reason I am angry and the reason I am here now.
There should be details from G---- Counsellor, J--- S---, Locum Psychiatrist, Dr P--- head of psychiatric services in B--------- in 2003/4 and various people in T---- Mental Health Unit showing this. One from the mental health Access Team in T---- in 2004 where I am described as "needing resolution < to these problems> The number one way to resolution is simple: a straightforward, genuine, honest APOLOGY.

I also saw you some years ago when I was again desperate and you referred me to someone, I forget, that would not help me.

In 2003, I started a complaint against the psychiatric services regarding my treatment since 1998 in tandem with one against Dr A and N------- Health Board. I stopped the B------ (hospital) complaint after a traumatic meeting with Dr P----- and me developing a lung abscess.
For example In the Independent review, they said I suffered from paranoia, delusions of persecution, and dislocation from reality. because I required answers to why my dental career was destroyed and I was in effect struck off, for no reason. Dr A was found to be exemplary whilst I fought financial and medical bankruptcy


The complaints system is now formally accepted as a 'catastrophic waste of time and energy' and designed to distract the patient (I quote from the Patients Assn, the National Audit Office and the Chair of Parliamentary Committee on NHS spending!) People do not become suddenly 'deusional/paranoid/divorced from reality' etc etc later in life having enjoyed a normal life and a successful career. There are invariably outside abusive influences that cause this apparent mental anguish. Dr A’s response to the complaint was from memory as he “did not have access to my medical notes” and was “I do not remember”. A totally unprofessional reply considering his post as then Medical Director of the local Health Board.

The stress of trying to get answers may be (is) the primary cause of my high blood pressure, misdiagnosed cardiac pathology and loss of pulse and readable BP in left arm even after subclavian/carotid bypass. I have lost the pulse in my right arm as a direct result of the cardiac investigations
I have been told both a GP and his practice phlebotomist that my arm would go blue and fall off if I had no pulse and my arm DID go blue during a 12-hour BP monitoring last week due to an atrocious but avoidable act by Dr G*****This admitted error by Dr G**** is the specific reason for this appointment today. He had the courage to admit his error, unlike Dr A.

Then I found this compliment slip last October in a pile of divorce papers that showed Dr A had made up the diagnosis. The Medical Opinion contains libellous statements and inaccuracies BUT at the same time I received this nasty letter from my ex-wife about my son.

Then Dr G K*****sent me to T----- hospital as an ungrateful patient because I asked about my uncertain heart condition. She screamed at me telling me to move on. Other GP's also have said similar remarks to me and is the reason Edwina Hart, Welsh Assembly Health Minister, and I are now in regular communication

It was this moment, with Dr K*****, that made me think that despite spending 10 years fighting relentlessly to get answers I now realise how little I, as a NHS Dentist, was worth. Either I get answers or I will die trying.

I asked my sister Dr -- James for help but she has refused to help me saying Dr A meant well. She was his senior medical colleague, for 20 years, in Briton Ferry Health Centre. A simple apology from Dr A in July 1998 would have stopped all this


Yours faithfully
