    I wonder if anybody working for ATOS has ever themselves got ill, or had to leave through stress, and had to apply for ESA?

    Do they get the same 'treatment' and found fit for work?

    Very well I bet with the amount of money that get paid.


    (Just to add)

    Most doctors and nurses are worth there weight In Gold and really do earn there money by doing a great JoB for the NHS.
    But there are some that should clearly be struck off!

    But how can you make a complant about some one when they will not give out there GMC number?

    Its very hard to trace a doctor just by there last name.

    You ask the DWP for the name, I did it last year.

  • Why has MSE allowed this thread?

    I can see in the future Martin going on live on TV and being barrassed by this thread.

    I hope he is prepared for the bad publicity.

    He may even get Boooed like the MP's did at the olympics.

    I had this when the ATOS letter contained an incorrect spelling of the doctors name. I called ATOS main enquiries number and they gave me the correct spelling and the doctors GMC number. I will be making the complaint once the tribunal is over.

    It would be good to know.

    But there have been cases of people that work for the DWP that have lost there Job because of illness and they have had a ATOS medical that says they are unfit for work. Only to then try and claim ESA and have another ATOS medical are been found fit for work.

    You really can not make some of this stuff up!

    The Hippocratic Oath is an oath historically taken by physicians and other healthcare professionals swearing to practice medicine ethically and honestly.

    :eek:

    ATOS HCP's clearly take the hypocritical oath then!

    They no longer do - this from an ATOS related post on these boards over a year ago : -

    What about the nice doctors and nurses who although they no longer swear the Hippocratic Oath, but do agree to abide by the GMC's 'Duties of a doctor' when practicing in this country. [ seven of the doctors have been under investigation for more than seven months / another five were placed under investigation this year following complaints about their conduct, mostly relating to allegations /concern about the treatment of vulnerable people ].
