The General Medical Council (GMC), the United Kingdom’s medical regulatory authority, has found itself at the center of an explosive scandal involving its active collaboration with Sasha Rodoy, an alleged extortionist posing as a patient advocate. This scheme, aimed at framing an innocent doctor, has exposed deep-seated corruption within the GMC, calling into question its integrity, fairness, and commitment to justice—particularly for non-British doctors who seem to be disproportionately targeted by these manipulative schemes.

This scandal has laid bare a culture of collusion, extortion, and systemic exploitation, casting a long shadow over the GMC’s regulatory processes. These revelations have sent shockwaves through the medical community, raising alarm bells about how foreign doctors, particularly Indian doctors, are being unfairly targeted and victimized.

GMC officials and legal teams engage in a controversial hearing, with accusations of collusion and extortion overshadowing the proceedings

Background of Indian Doctors racially harassed by the GMC

The GMC are barely out of the case of Dr MA where they suspended an Indian doctor for asking for a laptop from her department- a case rated as the most blatant example of Institutional Racism and Harassment. The Entire BAPIO and Indian community was up in arms against the GMC & the NHS forcing it to apologise and not just reverse the suspension but also apologise and face a major embarrassment

In 2018 another ludicrous case was lodged about Dr PJ mentioning that another ludicrous allegation by a patient advocate, Sasha Rodoy who is not even a patient of Dr PJ. She lodged one patient stating a decade after their surgery that the patient remembered that he never actually met his surgeon and that the surgeon’s son possibly did his surgery. Simultaneously, she lodged a £500k (half a million pound) compensation claim (please see my earlier posts to read the detail).

Despite such nonsensical allegations, the GMC not only listed the case for a hearing but also asked Sasha Rodoy and her extortion business partner, Nicola Dowling, to find more such patients who could say the same- both Sasha and Nicola being close friends of the FTP members.

Sasha obliged them and provided them three more patients of Dr PJ a year after her initial letter to the GMC and GMC listed all four patients even without checking. The FTP head however saw that two patients were such rogues and blatantly lieng that the MPTS dismissed two and allowed two to go forward, called Greg Brady and Sandy Miller.

The hearing happened and Sasha was losing so she went to the room of the judges and threatened the judges with dire consequences. The Judges recused from the hearing but the GMC continued to support Sasha Rodoy and invited her to a repeat hearing with open arms.

The Mastermind Behind the Scheme: Sasha Rodoy’s Web of Manipulation

At the core of this scandal, Sasha Rodoy, is a woman with a background in psychology, who has honed her expertise to manipulate patients and the medical regulatory system for financial gain. Far from being the patient advocate she claims to be, Rodoy has been revealed as the orchestrator of a scheme designed to exploit the vulnerabilities of doctors, especially foreign doctors, in order to extort large financial settlements.

Rodoy’s tactics are insidious. She trains patients to fabricate claims of medical misconduct years after their surgeries, instructing them to allege that they never met their surgeons—a particularly devastating accusation for doctors. With hundreds or even thousands of surgeries performed annually, recalling specific patient interactions from years ago is nearly impossible for any doctor. This inability to disprove these claims leaves doctors defenceless, opening the door for false allegations to succeed.

The GMC’s Role: Enabling and Abetting Rodoy’s Schemes

The GMC, which is meant to act as an impartial regulatory body protecting both patients and doctors, has been deeply implicated in Rodoy’s schemes. In a recent high-profile case, Rodoy brought forward four patients to testify against a doctor, accusing the surgeon of misconduct. Shockingly, two of these patients were dismissed by the GMC after their claims were proven fraudulent. Despite this clear evidence of manipulation, the GMC inexplicably allowed the hearing to continue, largely due to Rodoy’s influential connections within the council.

The GMC’s decision to proceed, even after fraudulent claims had been exposed, demonstrates a disturbing bias and complicity in Rodoy’s extortionist activities. Instead of protecting the doctor and dismissing the case, the council’s persistence suggests that Rodoy wields undue influence over its decision-making processes.  

Intimidation and Threats: Rodoy’s Desperation Tactics

As the GMC hearing progressed and it became increasingly clear that the case was not going in her favor, Rodoy escalated her tactics. Sensingng defeat in 2022 proceedings, she went so far as to threaten jury members, confronting them at their hotel and forcing them to recuse themselves from the proceedings. These threats, which were clearly aimed at undermining the legal process, have gone unpunished by the GMC. Astonishingly, Rodoy continues to be involved in the case.

GMC Supporting Sasha Despite Threats of her to Judges:

Rodoy’s tactics highlight her desperation to ensure a favorable outcome for her extortion scheme. Despite clear evidence of misconduct, the GMC not only ignored her threats but is actively campaigning for her to be given permission to attend hearings in the GMC including the present case, actively showing hand in glove.

Financial Extortion at the Core of the Scheme

Sasha Rodoy’s campaign is driven by financial extortion. She, along with her media collaborator Nicola Dowling, has systematically benefitted from the GMC’s regulatory framework to advance her personal financial interests. A key component of Rodoy’s scheme is leveraging personal injury lawsuits alongside the GMC process. In this particular case, Rodoy is seeking £250,000 in damages from the targeted doctor, contingent upon the GMC finding in her favor.

The GMC’s Direct Involvement in Financial Exploitation

Perhaps the most damning revelation in this entire scandal is the GMC’s direct involvement in enabling these extortion schemes. Far from being an impartial regulator, the GMC appears to have a financial stake in these cases, allowing individuals like Rodoy to manipulate the system at the expense of innocent doctors.

The GMC’s legal team has defended Rodoy and her collaborator Dowling, painting them as credible. This endorsement, despite the clear evidence of extortion and fraud, shows that the GMC is more concerned with preserving its relationship with Rodoy than delivering justice. Foreign doctors, particularly those from India, are being disproportionately targeted by this corrupt system, with the GMC facilitating their exploitation and financial extortion.

Systemic Targeting of Indian Doctors: A Pattern of Abuse

The exposure of this scandal has also shed light on a broader issue within the UK medical system—the systematic targeting of Indian doctors. Evidence has surfaced showing that Indian doctors are being singled out by the GMC, subjected to fabricated claims, and trapped in financial and legal battles designed to prevent them from advancing in their careers.

Indian doctors, many of whom have spent years building their reputations and contributing to the UK healthcare system, are particularly vulnerable to these extortion schemes. The GMC, far from protecting these professionals, has become a tool for those seeking to destroy their careers and extract financial settlements. This systemic abuse is not an isolated incident but part of a broader pattern of discrimination and exploitation against foreign doctors in the UK.

The Future of Medical Regulation in the UK: A Crossroads

The GMC is now at a critical juncture. With its reputation in tatters and its credibility under fire, it must decide whether it will take the necessary steps to restore public trust or continue down the path of collusion and corruption. The future of medical regulation in the UK hangs in the balance, and the world is watching.

The medical community demands answers, and the GMC must face the consequences of its actions. Without swift accountability, the UK healthcare system risks descending into further chaos, where doctors—particularly foreign doctors—are left vulnerable to false claims and extortion, with little hope of defending their reputations or careers.

The revelations from this investigation mark a turning point in the UK’s medical regulatory landscape. If justice is to prevail, the GMC must undergo a complete overhaul, rooting out the corrupt practices that have tainted its operations and protecting doctors from extortion and exploitation.
