The hospital portering service has done so many wonderful
things. We have changed the world! See here for details: https://hpanwo.blogspot.com/2011/07/hospital-porters-who-changed-world.html.
However, we are not a separate species. We are human beings in uniform. There
are evil people in the Hospital Portering Service, terribly destructive people;
people I believe are demonically possessed. I've known one or two... Another
is, of course, Jimmy Savile, see: https://hpanwo-hpwa.blogspot.com/2015/02/jimmy-savile-nhs-knew.html.
One such person has just brought shame on the Hospital Portering Service. Paul
Farrell was a porter at the world famous Great
Ormond Street Hospital ,
a dedicated children's hospital in London
that has cared for the youngest members of society since 1852. He pleaded
guilty to fifty-eight sexual offences against children carried out between 1985
and 2020. One of his victims is now aged forty-three. This was a
multi-generational reign of terror. Source: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-57229868. The sad and frustrating thing is that the
civilian staff at GOSH will henceforth inevitably regard Farrell's crimes as a
part of something related to the nature of all porters and/or hospital
portering in general. The same is never the case when it comes to one of their
own. Hospital civilians who commit crimes, even the worst crimes of all, are
shrugged off as "a few bad apples!"; for example see: https://hpanwo-hpwa.blogspot.com/2015/05/killer-nurses.html.
It's a horrific thing when young people enter hospital for help and healing,
and only suffer exploitation and abuse. I said a long time ago: "once a
hospital porter, always a hospital porter". In the case of Mr Farrell I
make an exception. Like Jimmy Savile, he is no longer one of us.
