SHE REPORTED NHS FRAUD. THEY GAVE HER CANCER AND A P45
Sharmila Chowdhury @sharmilaxx spent 30 years working in the @NHS without a single disciplinary mark. Then she caught two consultant radiologists at Ealing Hospital NHS Trust billing the NHS for sessions they were spending at a private hospital down the road. Double-dipping on public money.
Straightforward fraud.
She reported it. To her line manager. To the Medical Director. To the HR Director. To Counter Fraud. To the Chief Executive. To Number 10. To the Treasury. She had a paper trail so solid that ITV later sent undercover cameras to the hospital and caught the same consultants still at it years later, taking cash from patients for private ultrasounds inside an NHS building.
The Trust's response? They sacked her. On fabricated counter-allegations.
The man who raised those allegations later sent an email signed off "0800-F***-YOU-B****." He received a 'Top Mentor' award from the Trust that same year.
Sharmila won at tribunal.
She won her appeal. The judge asked the Trust to reinstate her. The Trust said no. She was blacklisted across the NHS.
One job offer was withdrawn the moment they found out who she was. Her legal costs hit £130,000. She developed breast and lung cancer, which her doctors believe is linked to the years of sustained stress.
The consultants kept their jobs.
George Osborne couldn't get involved. Andrew Lansley couldn't get involved. David Cameron couldn't get involved. Because everyone decided it was an "employment matter."
A proven fraud case, covered by ITV, the Guardian, Daily Mail and Channel 4, and the official position of Her Majesty's Government was: not our problem.
This is what the UK does to people who try to protect public money. It destroys them and promotes the people they were trying to stop.

Bro to Bro : when you go out with your friends, take pictures together, take pictures of you eating & drinking. One day those memories will be the only thing you’ll have left. Life is short , enjoy your life without internet restrictions
Unsung heroes tbh.
But is no one going to say anything to Boris Johnson, Matt Hancock (with his affair in the middle of Covid), Rishi Sunak etc and all those PPE contracts?🙂
What a world.
