The patient concerned has no spinal reflexes and the nurses are
refusing to bleep a doctor (who is not a doctor, but a
psychiatrist) to test the reflexes:

Complaint details
I have reported alergies and adverse side effects of psychopharmaca to
the Yellow Card Scheme. This information is since yesterday available to
the staff, including Rachel Berg (my R.C.), on Amber Ward, H.M.H.C. It
indicates that I should go to casualty as I take too much Sodium
Valporate, should not be prescribed this medication, nor should I be
prescribed Sulpiride, Diazepam or Lorazepam. Rachel Berg has promised on
a previous occasion that she would take notice of a Yellow Card, as I
think she is under the impression that I am lying to her, although I
have never done so, and she has no reason to believe so. Rachel Berg,
when I saw her on Tuesday of this week, promised to consult with me at a
time when I had had the chance to read the manufacturers leaflet on
Quetiapine, and discuss prescribing this psychopharmaca to me. She has
broken this promise and is refusing to consult with me. On Tuesday of
this week Rachel Berg also promised that she would consider crossing off
my prescription for Diazepam and Lorazepam. She did not cross off these
medications. My Allocated Nurse is a Support Worker. He will not let me
talk to a Nurse. Therefore I cannot have the Duty Doctor bleeped who
could then bleep a Consultant (as it is a weekday) and have me taken off
my prescribed medication which is in danger of killing me (sleep apnoea
amongst others). My Yellow Card Registration Number is: ADR 21647050.
Rachel Berg is on Amber Ward (where I am a patient) doing a ward round
presently. I have asked for the opportunity to consult her through the
medium of a Nurse who is in the Ward Round and that request has been
vicariously refused. When the door to the Meeting Room where Dr. Berg
consults was open, I verbally requested to consult with Dr. Berg and I
suspect she will do nothing about it. Rachel Berg was also sent a copy
of my Yellow Card. Rachel Berg has a duty, in light of new information,
and as she verbally promised, to consult with me and cross off my
prescriptions for psychopharmaca that according to the manufacturer's
instructions, and as reported to the Yellow Card Scheme, I should not be
taking. I have a right under the Mental Health Act 1983 that Rachel Berg
has to explain everything to me. She is not doing this, in the past has
granted me ten minutes of her time at Ward Round, and only granted me
twenty at the last Ward Round due to the fact that I had complained
about the matter to compl...@candi.nhs.uk. It is claimed by the
Nursing Staff that I will be given the chance to consult with Rachel
Berg next on Tuesday 22nd May 2012. This is many days away and the side
effects of the psychopharmaca that I am taking, as reported to the
Yellow Card Scheme, are life threatening. Mr. Lewis Robinson (1st BM
Oxon). Rachel Berg also refuses to contemplate a change in diagnosis. I
believe that I am suffering from Cyclothymia and Rachel Berg's diagnosis
is Bipolar Affective Disorder. When I offered this information to the
Second Opinion Doctor (Leonard Fagin, G.M.C.# 2478410) he neglected to
offer a second opinion on diagnosis and supported the current medication
scheme. I am of the opinion that I am suffering from Hypomania, and not
Mania, for which reason I should not be prescribed Sulpiride. I
requested to both Rachel Berg and Leonard Fagin that I be put on an
antipsychotic, which also happens to be a mood stabiliser, as sole
psychoparmacal treatment, which antipsychotic is particularly good in
treating Manic or Hypomanic episodes. That medication is Asenapine. I
have been prescribed and taken it before and it has helped me. Instead
Rachel Berg suggested Quetiapine, which is particularly good in depression.
Did anyone else see or hear things
I am a reliable witness, it is all in my paper notes, recorded on RiO
(the computerised notes system here), has been reported to Support
Workers, Nurses, Duty Doctors, S.P.R.s, S.H.O.'s and the Consultant.
There is ample documented and verbal proof of my complaint which should
stand on it's own.
Have you complained to anybody else
Yes, I have complained to compl...@candi.nhs.uk, and received a
meeting and explanation from the Nurse Ward Manager to the issues I
raised. This response was in no way satisfactory. Even were it not, the
G.M.C. would be the first point of call, as the matter is serious, and
threatens my life through Clinical Malpractice.
I declare that all the information I have given in this form is, to the
best of my knowledge, complete and accurate.
I consent that the GMC can disclose my complaint and any information I
provide in connection with it to the doctor(s) named within. I also
agree that the doctor(s) can disclose to the GMC any information that is
necessary for the GMC to consider my complaint.
