NHS FILED 200 COMPLAINTS AGAINST A DOCTOR. EVERY SINGLE ONE WAS LIES. Dr Raj Mattu was a cardiologist at Walsgrave Hospital in Coventry. In 2001 he spotted something management had apparently missed: squeezing five patients into cardiac bays built for four was killing people. A 35-year-old died because staff could not physically reach him through the overcrowding. Dr Mattu told @BBC (@nhsuhcw). He filed reports. He raised alarms. The NHS response was textbook. They suspended him. Then they filed 200 complaints against him to the General Medical Council. Not a typo. Two hundred. Over eleven years. Every single one was rejected. A tribunal later heard that a senior manager had said : don't worry about a parking ticket, we want to get him off the road completely. The suspension followed within weeks of that conversation. Dr Mattu was sacked in 2010. He spent over a decade unable to practise cardiology while the trust spent an estimated £14 million of public money fighting to keep him out. His health deteriorated. He underwent major lung surgery. His colleagues described him as being hounded mercilessly. In 2016 an employment tribunal ruled he had been unfairly dismissed. He was awarded £2.5 million in compensation including tax contributions. The tribunal found the dismissal was inextricably linked to his 2001 whistleblowing. It confirmed he was blameless. The CEO who oversaw the whole campaign, David Loughton, was later awarded a CBE. The doctor who tried to save them got destroyed. The managers who destroyed him got decorated.
