Two patients died & he’s allowed to operate again!

SYDNEY —

Controversial surgeon William MOONEY is set to resume practising medicine after an appeal court rejected the NSW Medical Council’s efforts to stop him.

Two patients died at his hands:  (1) Alex TAOUIL in December 2017 and (2) Pouya POULADIAN in March 2018, both in private hospitals.

“Mr Mooney is not a perfect individual – far from it,” said Justice Mark Leeming in the Court of Appeal’s judgment handed down on Tuesday.  What an understatement!   Did the Court know his history?

Launceston hospital deaths – law and disorder Tasmania

LAUNCESTON, Tasmania —

Launceston General Hospital falsified death certificates mean covering-up true cause of death.  Commonly known as lying, fraud, dishonesty.  This is what health and medical bureaucrats do to protect their political masters.  Then they lie to us.

The question to be asked:  What is going on in Tasmania?  Does it have a government?  If so, what is it doing?  The bigger question:  Who is in charge?

If Tasmania Police will not investigate falsified death certificates, then who will?

They cannot silence everyone.  God help Tasmanians.

Remembering June Long 1924-1994

June Sylvia Long 1 June 1924—29 June 1994

The June Long Foundation was set up in June Long’s memory to make the public aware that patients are being killed in our hospitals and hospital medicos are covering-up these iatrogenic deaths as a matter of routine.  It starts with a lie and ends with more lies.

All one can say is thank God for coroners.

Don’t ever believe what you’re told how your loved one died.  Question it furiously.  Don’t take no for an answer.

LONDON — from METHODIST CENTRAL HALL WESTMINSTER

The UK Infected Blood Inquiry final report slams NHS and Government ‘cover-up’ — ‘This was abuse’.
