“Though the Witch knew the Deep Magic, there is a magic deeper still which she did not know. Her knowledge goes back only to the dawn of time. But if she could have looked a little further back… she would have known that when a willing victim who had committed no treachery was killed in a traitor’s stead, the Table would crack and Death itself would start working backward.” - Aslan, C.S. Lewis, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

The Email Before the Complaint Flood: How One Sentence Documented a Plan for Retaliatory Truth



⟡ “Maybe You Could Call That Evil Doctor” ⟡
When A Disabled Mother Had to Crowdsource Accountability Because Breathing Wasn’t Enough

Filed: 23 November 2024
Reference: SWANK/NHS/EMAIL-06
📎 Download PDF – 2024-11-23_SWANK_Email_Reid_StMarysDisbelief_DoctorEscalationWarning.pdf
Email to Dr. Philip Reid and safeguarding officials naming Dr. Arjumand at St Mary’s Hospital for disbelief during respiratory crisis and announcing formal protest escalation.


I. What Happened

On 23 November 2024, Polly Chromatic emailed social workers, legal contacts, and her GP stating that Dr. Arjumand at St Mary’s refused to believe her medical condition during an A&E visit. She did not scream. She did not threaten. She asked:

“Maybe you could call that evil doctor and ask her why she didn’t believe me.”

Then she added what the state calls inappropriate and what SWANK calls strategic documentation escalation:

“I’m planning an email attack of St Thomas’, St Mary’s, and Westminster and Chelsea that will set things straight.”

The email is brief. But it contains everything: the disability barrier, the disbelief, the rage — and the resolve to formalise it all through written record.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • Continued verbal disability declaration amid medical escalation

  • Named hospital and clinician responsible for disbelief

  • Refusal to endure verbal confrontation due to health limitations

  • Announced plan to use email as legal escalation and documentation

  • Precise moment where the personal shifted into formal resistance


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because when institutions deny people care, they also criminalise the tone of their response.

This message is not unprofessional. It’s a logistical warning. It documents intent to escalate through formal correspondence — not violence, not aggression, but written outrage. It is what due process looks like when no other process is left.

SWANK logs it because disabled women are expected to stay calm while being blamed for the harm done to them.


IV. SWANK’s Position

This wasn’t a tantrum.
It was a redirection of force — from breathless desperation to bureaucratic warfare.

We do not accept that disbelief is a clinical opinion.
We do not accept that self-advocacy must be phrased like an apology.
We will document every email written because speaking would have killed her.

You Reported Me to Safeguarding. I Reported You to the Police.



⟡ They Ignored Her Oxygen Levels. So I Escalated to the Police. ⟡
“Your safeguarding concern was noted. So was your failure to treat her.”

Escalation email following emergency mistreatment of Heir at St Mary’s Hospital A&E. Forwarded to safeguarding teams with notice of police report and refusal to remain silent.


I. What Happened

On 21 November 2024, shortly after her daughter Heir was dismissed from emergency care despite respiratory distress, the parent:

  • Forwarded the complaint to Westminster Children’s Services

  • Included medical context, oxygen data, and details of hostile treatment

  • Noted that the hospital had escalated a safeguarding concern against her — instead of addressing their own clinical failure

  • Stated plainly that she would report the incident to police

  • Reminded all recipients that documented medical neglect was not excused by filing against the parent

The email stood as both evidence and warning: the system may escalate, but so will the archive.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • That Heir’s mistreatment at A&E was witnessed, recorded, and reported immediately

  • That NHS staff attempted to reframe the incident by filing against the parent

  • That the parent proactively responded with a clear paper trail, not silence

  • That Westminster Children’s Services was informed in real-time and could not later claim ignorance

  • That the escalation to police was not for show — it was for legal accountability


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because when your daughter needs help breathing and the hospital staff refuse to act —
and then file a concern about you —
that’s not safeguarding.
That’s cover-up protocol.

Because when you respond with oxygen readings, a timeline, and legal escalation —
you are not “uncooperative.”
You are documenting the scene.

And because when they send in safeguarding,
you send them the truth —
in PDF format.


IV. Violations

  • NHS Constitution – Duty of Care
    Breach of clinical responsibility in emergency paediatric care

  • Human Rights Act 1998 – Article 3 and 8
    Degrading treatment and interference in family life

  • Children Act 1989 / 2004
    Endangerment of a child by systemic inaction

  • Police and Criminal Evidence Act (PACE)
    Valid grounds for police report on clinical misconduct

  • Equality Act 2010 – Section 27
    Retaliatory safeguarding action following assertion of disability rights


V. SWANK’s Position

You didn’t treat her.
You dismissed her.
And then you filed against me.

So now I’ve filed back.
And this time, the police aren’t the only ones who’ll see it.

This wasn’t care.
It was cowardice in uniform.

We didn’t need a report.
We needed oxygen.
Now you’re the ones under review.

You Demanded Medical History, Then Refused to Hear It.



⟡ They Asked for Her History. Then Interrupted Every Time I Tried to Give It. ⟡
“I brought oxygen data. They brought doubt.”

Written report of St Mary’s A&E misconduct during Honor’s respiratory crisis, including disbelief in parental account, repeated interruption, and refusal to read prior medical documentation.


I. What Happened

On 21 November 2024, the parent attended St Mary’s Hospital A&E with her daughter Honor, who was experiencing dangerously low oxygen levels.

Instead of:

  • Listening

  • Reading the attached clinical data

  • Or responding with urgency

The attending staff:

  • Interrupted the parent repeatedly mid-sentence

  • Dismissed concerns with visible irritation

  • Refused to engage with provided evidence

  • Accused the parent of “not answering properly” — after refusing to let her speak

The parent documented the incident in an email immediately upon returning home, addressing it to Westminster Children’s Services and GP Dr. Reid.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • That Honor was not taken seriously by A&E staff, despite pre-documented oxygen distress

  • That the parent was disbelieved and silenced, despite having medical evidence

  • That the clinicians demanded history, then actively obstructed it

  • That this occurred in the context of active safeguarding surveillance, yet no institutional accountability followed

  • That institutional disbelief continues to operate as a default — especially toward disabled, female, and racialised parents


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because when you say “my daughter can’t breathe,”
and they say “we don’t believe you” —
that’s not medicine. That’s misconduct.

Because when they ask for a history,
but refuse to let you speak,
you’re not a parent —
you’re a problem to be dismissed.

And because silence under oxygen strain is not a gap in your narrative.
It’s an indictment of theirs.


IV. Violations

  • NHS Constitution – Duty of Respect and Responsiveness
    Dismissal of medical concern, failure to read provided history

  • Human Rights Act 1998 – Article 3 and 8
    Degrading treatment and interference with parental dignity and child welfare

  • Children Act 1989
    Neglect of clinical urgency and refusal to engage with parental safeguarding role

  • Equality Act 2010 – Sections 20 & 27
    Disability adjustment ignored, retaliatory silencing, gendered dismissal


V. SWANK’s Position

We didn’t interrupt them.
They interrupted us.

We didn’t withhold information.
They refused to hear it.

This wasn’t triage.
It was theatre.
And the script was already written.

Now we’re writing our own.

She Had Low Oxygen. I Had Evidence. They Had Attitude.



⟡ She Couldn’t Breathe. They Didn’t Believe Us. ⟡
“I brought oxygen readings. They brought disbelief.”

Formal complaint to NHS and WCC regarding mistreatment at St Mary’s A&E, including refusal to acknowledge Heir’s medical distress and dismissal of parent’s documented history.


I. What Happened

On the evening of 21 November 2024, the parent brought her daughter Heir to St Mary’s Hospital A&E following GP guidance to seek immediate medical attention for dangerously low oxygen levels.

Upon arrival:

  • An intake nurse recorded oxygen at 97% with condescension, after hearing the child’s history

  • Oxygen soon dropped to 95%, triggering agreement to wait

  • The attending A&E doctor dismissed the parent's records and interrupted her repeatedly while she attempted to explain

  • The doctor openly stated: “I don’t believe you”

  • A second doctor, less defensive, eventually agreed to evaluate Honor properly

The parent emailed both Dr Philip Reid and Kirsty Hornal immediately after the encounter — noting the hospital’s ongoing pattern of hostility and medical dismissal toward her and her children.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • That a parent followed clinical advice and was met with suspicion, interruption, and disbelief

  • That the child's oxygen was dangerously low earlier that same day, and was treated as inconvenient rather than urgent

  • That medical records were dismissed out of hand, and legitimate concern was treated as defiance

  • That the parent, visibly disabled, was forced to speak over a doctor in order to protect her child

  • That the NHS continues to treat trauma-exposed, disabled mothers as adversaries, not patients


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because when a doctor says “I don’t believe you” to a mother in A&E, that’s not miscommunication — that’s institutional contempt.

Because when you explain that your child has low oxygen and bring physical records, and the system responds with hostilitydoubt, and delay,
you are no longer seeking treatment. You are documenting negligence.

This wasn’t a misread.
This was routine abuse of clinical power —
and this time, it’s archived.


IV. Violations

  • NHS Code of Conduct – Duty of Care
    Failure to deliver respectful, responsive emergency care

  • Human Rights Act 1998 – Article 3 and 8
    Degrading treatment of disabled parent; interference with health and family life

  • Equality Act 2010 – Section 20
    Dismissal of verbal disability and medical advocacy

  • GMC Guidelines – Patient-Centred Care
    Ignored documentation; hostile tone; refusal to hear clinical history

  • Children Act 1989
    Failure to treat a child in respiratory distress during an active safeguarding plan


V. SWANK’s Position

This was not a triage error.
It was clinical misconduct.

We didn’t bring assumptions.
We brought a record.

They didn’t treat her.
They disbelieved her.

And now they are archived — not because they failed to help,
but because they actively chose not to.

Racial Harm in the Waiting Room: What the NHS Failed to Intervene



⟡ SWANK NHS Racial Harm Archive ⟡

“The Receptionist Repeated the Slur.”
Filed: 24 March 2025
Reference: SWANK/SMH/RACE-01
📎 Download PDF – 2025-03-24_SWANK_SMH_Racial_Slur_Witness_Complaint.pdf


I. This Wasn’t De-escalation. It Was Institutional Echo.

This complaint documents a racial incident at St Mary’s Hospital witnessed by a patient in the Urgent Care Waiting Room on or around 18 March 2025.

At the centre of it:

A white woman accused of using a racial slur.
A Black woman visibly distressed and in tears.
A receptionist who repeated the slur aloud — in front of children, patients, and staff.
And no safeguarding response to the woman harmed.

This wasn’t an attempt to calm the situation.
It was an amplification of it — by the very institution meant to intervene.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

That NHS staff:

  • Repeated a racial slur out loud in a public setting

  • Offered no support or trauma-informed care to the Black woman harmed

  • Failed to de-escalate, protect, or record the incident in any visible way

  • Allowed the accused party to proceed to her appointment unchallenged

That the harm was not:

Addressed
Acknowledged
Or institutionally managed

That racism — when witnessed in NHS spaces — is often allowed to sit beside you in the waiting room, unbothered.


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because racial trauma in healthcare spaces is not hypothetical — it is routine and observable.
Because silence from staff is not neutrality — it is reinforcement.
Because institutional procedures often mirror the biases they’re meant to correct.

We filed this because:

  • The Black woman was left unsupported.

  • The receptionist normalized the harm.

  • The incident played out like background noise in a room that should’ve intervened.

Let the record show:

There was no apology.
There was no escalation pathway.
There was no training in evidence that day.

Only a witness — and now, a record.


IV. SWANK’s Position

We do not accept NHS environments where racial slurs are treated as disputable noise.
We do not permit receptionists to repeat trauma under the guise of clarification.
We do not excuse silence from professionals in moments of visible harm.

Let the record show:

The names were unspoken.
The slur was not.
The harm was institutional.
And SWANK — does not wait for consensus before calling it racism.

This wasn’t miscommunication.
It was racial violence, moderated by policy inaction.
