Whistleblowing 23 January 2004
susanne mccabe, retired home Send response to journal: Re: Whistleblowing	Peter Wilmshurst is without doubt an admirable person - no matter how many charters are introduced, it is still an horrendous experience to 'blow the whistle' - but an 'unusually honest' doctor?

Joseph C. Watine, Consultant, Laboratory Medicine Hôpital de Rodez, France Send response to journal: Re: Re: Whistleblowing	Does Susanne McCabe mean that it is not Dr Wilmhurst who is "too" honest, but the average doctor who lacks honesty? Competing interests: I blew the whistle once; not sure I would do it again

Rita Pal, Editor, NHS Exposed Send response to journal: Re: Congratulations Peter	I admire Peter Wilmshurst and he deserves the award he was given. Peter is not only an all round "nice guy" but he has a sense of responsibility to his work and others. Peter is refreshingly honest about everything. By the way, we do not need whistleblowers - I do not believe doctors should be subjected to witch hunts and be sacrificed simply to raise standards. A quality of a doctor's life is important and I would dissuade anyone from going down the route of whistleblowing. R Pal www.nhs-exposed.com Competing interests: None declared
