Summary: Foundational complaint to Guy’s & St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust, documenting the discriminatory treatment and false reporting that occurred at St Thomas’ Hospital A&E on 2 January 2024. This letter is the origin document of the False Security Report Series and the first written articulation of respiratory discrimination as an evidentiary category within the SWANK Archive.
I. What Happened
On 2 January 2024, Polly Chromatic (legally Noelle Bonnee Annee Simlett) attended St Thomas’ Hospital A&E in acute respiratory distress due to a severe eosinophilic asthma episode.
Her daughter accompanied her, observing as the attending nurse continued to question her verbally despite visible breathlessness and documented communication limitations.
Unable to respond verbally and fearing imminent collapse, she voluntarily left the department with her daughter to preserve her health and safety.
No hospital security was involved.
Yet, within weeks, official NHS and police records falsely described her as being “removed by hospital security.”
This distortion turned a medical exit into a disciplinary myth — a bureaucratic inversion of patient autonomy.
The next day, 3 January 2024, she was treated at Chelsea & Westminster Hospital, given nebuliser therapy, diagnosed with COVID-19, and prescribed prednisone.
II. What the Document Establishes
• That St Thomas’ Hospital failed to apply reasonable adjustments under the Equality Act 2010 for a patient with a documented respiratory and communication disability.
• That staff negligence endangered both patient and child.
• That internal documentation was falsified, recording a security removal that never occurred.
• That this falsification spread through the Metropolitan Police and Crown Prosecution Service, mutating into procedural defamation.
• That institutional dishonesty, once written, metastasises.
III. Why SWANK Logged It
• To preserve the original version of the event before institutional mythology rewrote it.
• To establish a jurisprudential record of asthma-related discrimination and narrative manipulation.
• To create a permanent evidentiary counterpoint to NHS documentation.
• Because truth, unarchived, disappears.
IV. Legal & Ethical Framework
Statutory Basis
• Equality Act 2010 — failure to accommodate disability (ss.15, 19, 20).
• Data Protection Act 2018 — accuracy principle (s.171).
• Human Rights Act 1998, Arts. 3, 6, 8, and 14 — degrading treatment, fair process, privacy, and discrimination.
Ethical & Clinical Standards
• NHS Constitution — right to be treated with dignity, respect, and equality.
• GMC Good Medical Practice — responsibility to communicate effectively and adapt to patient needs.
• NMC Code of Conduct (2018) — duty to recognise communication barriers and prevent harm.
Regulatory Oversight
• Care Quality Commission (CQC)
• Parliamentary & Health Service Ombudsman (PHSO)
• NHS Resolution (Case Reference 2025/RES/A23)
V. SWANK’s Position
“A false report is a bureaucrat’s masterpiece — precision without truth, authority without breath.”
SWANK London Ltd. regards this incident as the founding case of procedural retaliation within clinical settings, where institutional discomfort eclipses medical ethics.
The letter therefore stands not as a complaint but as a jurisdictional fossil — the first written evidence that patient autonomy, when inconvenient, is recoded as misconduct.
It marks the beginning of the Respiratory Discrimination Archive, the aesthetic record of what happens when care collapses into control.
