Stroke 'played no part' in Blackpool hospital patient's death - BBC News https://share.google/E1kG2EjcGHJWiPXvA

Omfg. This is just horrendous. This poor woman. Bled to death on a stroke ward following a sexual assault on the ward. What on earth?

Valerie Kneale, with shoulder-length grey curly hair, wears a pink, lilac and green floral blouse as she is photographed in a garden. She is standing in front of a pebble-dashed house with a white plastic door and windows.

Stroke 'played no part' in Blackpool hospital patient's death

Valerie Kneale's inquest is told she died because of a "forcible sexual assault" while in hospital.

was it a trans identifying man that did that ie a man ? That’s so disgusting. Is he still there? Is he still allowed to prey on comatose women? It could be any of us in years to come :-)

If you read the article you will be able to see that the perpetrator has not been identified.

What happened to Valerie Kneale was really shocking, but I only linked the article to the other thread because of the PP talking about vulnerable patients, her murder is not linked to trans ideology or trans identified men at all as far as we know.

All of our instituations are captured. But it is changing please god xxxx

Such a disgusting thing to happen and i absolutely hope it’s investigated and sorted. I think nhs needs a bloody overhaul. But we all know that. Poor lady.

Did it happen because of nhs being kind policy????

Sorry if I’m wrong. I hope that predatory man of whatever gender he chooses is found and annihilated.

What is actually wrong with these people? These supposedly professional healthcare professionals. Why are these horrific incidents happening and why is no one being held accountable? Like pedophile priests, they’re just being moved from one parish / trust to another. Wards used to be run by head nurses who knew their jobs and were respected. Now it seems no one is in charge.

And it took a student nurse to blow the whistle!

…after concerns were raised by a student nurse

Often the case that it’s a student who whistle blows. They’re not wrapped up in the toxic culture. I wonder if people who have been there for a while just don’t notice behaviour getting worse. Like the frog in boiling water analogy.

i remember the headline about mid Staffs hospital many years ago being “the hospital that stopped caring”. Non compassionate, unkind care had become normalised.

I’ve never worked in the NHS but adjacent to it. It is extremely hierarchical and it’s apparent that there can be very different cultures on different wards even within the same hospital. When things are so hierarchical it’s really easy for individuals to influence the culture and practice for good or for bad. I suppose the one good thing is the bravery of the student calling it out.

Link works for me.
What an absolutely unimaginable story. I hope this grows and grows and people are held to account.

It has to take the papers doing something to maybe get more attention to this

Wow, that article is shocking. All this in a single hospital!

Worse than a Victorian lunatic asylum and the doctor who was suspended for only 12 months for raping a female colleague - no words.

Bindel is posting about this hospital and the levels of depraved criminality at this hospital is astounding.

Doctor who left patient during operation to have sex with nurse allowed to practise | Greater Manchester | The Guardian https://share.google/xSfQ9Wdltfdsm4Lbf

No sanction will be imposed on the doctor and the hearing will reconvene in Manchester on Tuesday to decide whether to issue a warning on Dr Anjum’s registration.

Can you believe this. He left a patient midway through an operation, had a sexual encounter with a nurse in another room and returned to the operating theatre 8 minutes later. Should he ever be anywhere near a patient again after this behaviour?

Medical tribunal rules ‘very low risk’ of Suhail Anjum, who had been dismissed by hospital in Greater Manchester, repeating behaviour

Doctors are NOT being struck off, in cases where it seems they should be, and not getting proportionate punishments, according to the Radio 4 BBC news this morning.

Edited

That is very evident on reading accounts of so many cases belatedly heard by the GMC.

I have no words. Rest in peace Valerie.

And another awful situation at Blackpool Vic I saw in the news. I’m utterly disgusted.

Amal Bose, senior heart surgeon “with a god complex”, has been jailed for six years for sexually assaulting female hospital staff between 2017 and 2022.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c4g52g7lv4no.amp

I can well believe the God complex. Junior staff and Nursing staff risk career suicide for questioning senior drs. It is a horrendous attitude throughout the NHS.
