Bogus doctor made patients worse
Oh Doctor you're in trouble. Oh goodness gracious me.Well, well, well. The other day I wrote in I want to tell you a story about an Asian work colleague telling me why he prefers to go to a White British doctor given the choice as many Asian doctors qualifications were in fact bogus.
And then what do I find in my final look around the Asian News Mags, this little gem. A bogus doctor has just been convicted on four counts of deception. Concerns were first raised about Gurmukh Singh in 2005 but a full investigation did not take place until May 2006. The money he charged his patients was sent out to India.
Detective Sergeant Lindsey Curry said: "This man abused one of the most sacred positions of responsibility in a community. He may well have had genuine intentions to help people, but he was unqualified to do so, and massively overcharged for his services. In some cases, the conditions of the people who went to see him actually got worse, and all of them ended up well out of pocket. As well as claiming disability benefit, Singh was earning hundreds of pounds out of his patients. The amount of medicine he had in his house suggests that he had no intention of stopping either."Like that fellow Littlejohn, who hunts with the hounds and runs with the fox says: "You couldn't make it up".
