We empathise with our medical colleague Dr. Sharma, a brave man with integrity who is now suffering the wrath of the government and its leader. This week Dr. Gaurav Sharma, GP and Labour MP was expelled from the caucus after exhausting all avenues to have his claims of bullying investigated, instead he has been stonewalled at attempts to be heard or acknowledged and believes the Prime Minister is creating a coverup culture.
Dr. Sharma’s increasing frustration and concerns for the past 18 months and his request for an investigation into bullying claims have clearly placed him at the epicentre of the problem. In reality, what has now happened is that he has been turned into the problem and not the issues in which he was attempting to raise awareness and request dialogue for.
Sound familiar?! Remember, we are continually told there is no problem, only the person, individuals, or groups who raise issues and dare suggest there is a problem who become the problem. This is a typical situation of turning the tables upside down, in an attempt to reverse the situation and gain the upper hand. In other words, these perceived trouble makers who rock the boat, ask awkward questions, embarrass their leader, and heaven forbid dare speak out on things that should remain unspoken regardless if they have legitimate claims, are labelled troublemakers simply because they deviate from the ‘team’ narrative.
