“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.

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 hostility, doubt, 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.
