Dr David Nelson covers up for Le Brasseur

As an emigrant doctor I was anxious to learn more about whether the MPS was really a protection society whom I could entrust the defence of my professional reputation and career to. I therefore went back to the doctor who had told me about her earlier experiences with Dr Bradley and Dr Nelson and asked her if anything had come of her problems. I was surprised to learn that her problems which had begun so many years ago continued still. I asked her what had happened next and she told me that eventually and without any warning the GMC came for her with a number of trumped up charges that mirrored the defence to the claim which the MPS had issued for her against her employing Health Authority at the High Court in London. She said that was when it really all went wrong as the MPS had engaged Le Brasseur, their solicitor, to represent her and they had failed her very badly at the outset. She said at an early stage in the proceedings and certainly before any PPC meeting at the GMC Robert Summerling of Le Brasseur had a conversation with Robert Gray, an assitant registrar of the GMC, during which Gray had told Summerling that the doctor was a psychopath and that psychopaths went to the PCC where they would be struck off. She said they had no evidence for this and had not contacted her with this idea or asked her to undergo any psychiatric examination, but worst of all Summerling made a note of it and said no more and it eventually came out through the assistant solicitor. Summerling didn't even challenge it but let it take its course so she was erased. I asked her if the MPS knew and she said that of course they did , Dr Nelson knew and he tried to fob her off and was just lazy. Her private solicitors wrote to the MPS afterwards concerning an appeal and a challenge about the psychopath issue, but got short shrift. She wrote 12 letters to the MPS and some to Dr Bradley and was either ignored or received excuses and "uppity" replies. She said that with the benefit of hindsight she now realises that Dr Bradley had already put it about to Dr Nelson who would have conveyed it to Le Brasseur, that perhaps with her hearty attitude she had chosen the wrong profession, so it is not surprising that Le Brasseur didn't bother. She said, "They just cover up for each other and of course it must have been an everyday occurence for the MPS and the GMC to discuss doctors in those terms, so when they heard it applied to me they took it as accepted practise." I asked her if she would recommend them but she said, "Shouldn't you ask whether I should trust them? No they will swear black is white if they can wriggle out of their responsibilities and try to pull the wool." The Emigrant suggests that all overseas doctors and any junior doctors looking to join a defence body think twice before entrusting their fate to the MPS. The Emigrant can recommend the MDDUS.
