This book is about the experiences of a doctor whose career crossed paths with bad or misguided individuals who continue to have a disruptive influence on the safe functioning of our NHS. It is not aimed at the majority of good honest people who comprise this enormous workforce, however, it does not exonerate all those who turn a blind eye or look the other way when things around them are wrong and where it is in their power to intervene. Ungagged exposes the harm done to the service by relatively few who have a vast influence in the system. The survival of the institution is seen to trump the original aims of the NHS, that is, to provide patients with a safe service. In his memoir, Dr Forbat explores the human characteristics of love, loyalty and ordinary people trying (and failing) to find the right way to do the wrong things. His idea for a parallel universe crystallised whilst on ‘garden leave’ and watching the series Sons of Anarchy, about a turf war between motorbike gangs, presented in the form of a Shakespearean drama about reconciling who you are and learning to live with it.
