If you have ever tried to complain against a Doctor, or medical facility such as a hospital, you will find that self regulation plays an extensive part in ensuring patients complaints are kept within the medical profession, and never really achieve a fair hearing. <br />=================================<br />My personal experience is that the people receiving the complaint are more corrupt than the culprit. The NHS complaints system is a doctor protection racket. The only way round it is to espose a corrupt doctor yourself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20722989.post-34132596274588940482010-08-29T12:03:12.980+01:002010-08-29T12:03:12.980+01:00What we have is a sick legal system, a Senior Judg...What we have is a sick legal system, a Senior Judge recommending remedies and resistance from politicians controlled by the Law Society to change it.

(IT IS BIASED TOWARDS CLAIMANTS BECAUSE THE LAWYERS HAVE TO WIN TO SECURE THEIR FEES). TRY GETTING DAMAGES WITHOUT USING NO WIN NO FEE AND THE LAWYERS, DOCTORS, EMPLOYERS ARE ALL INSURED BY ROYAL SUN ALLIANCE, THEREFORE A COVERUP IS THE RESULT BECAUSE THE LAWYERS AND DOCTORS INSURERS ARE PAYING THE DAMAGES). <br /><br />SINCE NO ONE CAN SUE THEIR EMPLOYER WHEN INJURIES ARE NOT VISIBLE THE ONLY WINNERS ARE LAWYERS, DOCTORS, AND EMPLOYERS. SO SCRAP LEGAL AID BECAUSE NO EMPLOYEE EVER SUCCEEDS IN LITIGATION AGAINST THEIR EMPLOYER.<br /><br />YOU LAWYER AND DOCTOR BASTARDS WILL PROTEST, BUT WHY SHOULD THE TAXPAYER FUND LEGAL AID TO PROVIDE FEES FOR LAWYERS AND DOCTORS WHO ARE PROTECTING EMPLOYERS AND ROYAL SUN ALLIANCE WITH COVERUPS.<br /><br />USE THE LEGAL AID TAXPAYERS MONEY TO FUND CANCER TREATMENT OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT BECAUSE NO LAWYER OR DOCTOR EVER PRODUCES REPORTS WHICH BLAME EMPLOYERS FOR EMPLOYEES INJURIES, ie, RSI, ETC.<br /><br />I WARN YOU ALL, DO NOT TRY AND SUE YOUR EMPLOYER, I HAVE BEEN THERE AND THE LAWYERS AND DOCTORS WILL COVER UP YOUR INJURIES.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20722989.post-25869512317701349862010-08-26T13:31:13.865+01:002010-08-26T13:31:13.865+01:00Hope Lord Gill takes your HINT !Hope Lord Gill takes your HINT !Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20722989.post-69901604979877515692010-08-25T21:13:40.758+01:002010-08-25T21:13:40.758+01:00I think I'll frame your comment about "so...I think I'll frame your comment about "some good MSPS within the SNP" and your thoughts on Mr Swinney !<br /><br />Good to see you giving credit to Shirley Anne.She is a great asset to the SNP as you seem to recognise.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20722989.post-72243746315980521092010-08-25T19:31:04.890+01:002010-08-25T19:31:04.890+01:00Individuals do not have power only groups, and eve...Individuals do not have power only groups, and even though Lord Gill has great legal power as part of his group, the latter must be targetted to produce reform, not just the individuals. Smash Law Society power over policymaking and reforms to protect the client will be more of a possibility. <br /><br />I am sure in many ways Lord Gill will be a decent man, but this fact is no good to clients without legal redress. I am not critisizing you Lord Gill but I am critisizing what I and many others see as legal dictatorship, help in place by a cohort of people more concerned with protecting their financial security than their clients assets. Self regulation is the corrupt problem, please note Lord Gill, the people forming the networks of resistence would not be doing this if self regulation protected clients. It must be crushed at all costs if the legal profession are to rebuild trust with the public.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20722989.post-60420483028717335762010-08-25T19:21:42.386+01:002010-08-25T19:21:42.386+01:00I note on some websites (not yours Peter) people c...I note on some websites (not yours Peter) people calling lawyers various abusive words but this is not good. By all means critizize lawyers and tell people they don't follow up on instructions, they block access to justice etc but abuse is pointless, just warn others of the facts, that is all that is required and I detest the profession. <br /><br />I would never trust any lawyer at all but it just degrades the debate when people use abusive language. Knowing which law firms have ruined clients will reduce the chances of other clients being treated the same way.

Members of staff there can go to any supermarket or car dealer and have choice. Why should they have this choice when their members clients are locked into a legal dictatorship devoid of choice and open competition? <br /><br />Vested interests indeed Peter. Clients are locked into a corrupt system of self regulation, corrupt Marsh UK and corrupt Royal Sun Alliance. These people want to represent clients when they have a bulletproof system to protect themselves in place, and clients are the rightless when it goes tits up. It is a scandal and it is as unjust as any dictatorship.<br /><br />It is time Lord Gill used his influence, make a public speech Lord Gill and tell Scottish consumers the legal system is against their interests, be a maverick.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20722989.post-43956089534220588852010-08-25T12:02:35.733+01:002010-08-25T12:02:35.733+01:00Anonymous said...
