MEDICAL OPINION COMPLIMENT SLIP

 LETTER FROM HEATH HOUSE HOSPITAL dated June 1999

 I heard, from my divorce solicitor in, late July early August, that I had been fully retired on June 11th 1998.  No-one else EVER told me.

He also had arranged for the majority of the lump sum of my pension to be given to my wife, the rest he took as fees.  I asked for Dr A for an explanation but none was EVER forthcoming.

===============

I had to sell what I could in my house JUST TO SURVIVE. i.e. 19th century Welsh Dresser, 20 antique vases, my mother's collection of antique plates and ornaments, the 100 year old ++ over-strung upright piano, that I learnt to play piano on from the age of 6.  And more, I forget. I had lost my career now whilst loosing my family life (unrelated but a cause of my stress pre 1998) and now was selling  my heirlooms. I have very little left now as I had to sell almost everything of value.

===============

My whole life was now SO much worse and I was deemed a high risk suicide in hospital with these problems and YET Dr A had said, on June 4th 1998, that " The pressure of a busy Dental Practice job in the future would be too much for him" and yet I was expected to deal with the destruction of my professional life, CAUSED BY MY SUDDEN hospitalisation, with absolutely NO HELP, whilst on psychiatric medication, which made it impossible to act strong and forceful, AS I HAD BEEN, rebuilding the practice from Jan to June 1998.

I discovered that my practice had been left open, haemorrhaging patients DESPITE the promise that The Health Authority would take control of it for me. No one had contacted my accountant to let him know where I was. The promises made by the Psychiatrist and Dental Advisor turned out to be LIES.

===============

I had to be strong enough to eventually sell my Practice by November 1998 at a great loss and thus gained a debt for life I can never clear.

I worked alone and had lost most of my patients (4000++) and thus the goodwill that determined the sale price.

Bought in 1985 for £115,000 and sold in 1999 for £28,000.

I also had laboratory debts that I had to settle by borrowing money from a hardship fund from the British Dental Association. 

===============

Almost immediately I was informed , by a Mrs M N***** of the Health Authority that there now was an error with my Pension.
