Me, Anne, formerly Dr Anne

I have mutiple health issues but the main issue is that I am dealing with is I cannot work. My last job, which I thought would be perfect for me, ended up with me resigning after months, years of being judged because I have chronic migraines, on the background of having been stupidly honest about my past mental health issues. Then, of course, when a disgruntled nurse decided to complain about me (she was 1 nurse, when all the other nurses completely supported me, as did the allied health, support staff, patients, whatever) . And the basis of her complaint was deemed to be unwarented (and the rest if the staff really struggled with her, she didn't have the experience in this area that she had proclaimed, and her people management skills were lacking). She resigned not long after, but she was believed by the NUM,who probably also had a thing against me. I was too involved, too upfront, wanting the best for my patients, no matter what. But I was refered to an admin process. That process was never explained to me. But I failed because I was 5 minutes late to work. It was then progressed to my ultimate employer, the health system, who found there was no case to answer. During this, I was made to take unpaid leave, then made to work with locum colleagues, several of them I knew had been either sacked or cautioned in previous jobs. But I was told to "learn from them". Yes that didn't go down well with me, being told to receive "feedback" from people that I did not respect. And then, much worse, having to see them mismanage, which is bad enough, but even worse, they would disrespect the bond that I had with my patients, my nurses, my allied health. And they wouldn't listen to me, my patients, their families, nurses, allied health etc. I was put on "clerical duties" and put in a tiny office far away from the ward. Anything I produced there was ignored. They told me to report to AHPRA. I did, they said nothing to see here. But they decided to report me again to AHPRA, again, nothing to see. Over the 3 or 4 yrs I was employed (am I won't begin to start with the hell hole I was faced with when I began my employment) I was met with a situation were I had no support, and when I reached out for it, I was judged as a liability. I also note that I was the only female physician working at MCH. The other physicians where renowned for bad behaviour: leaving after their ward round at 12 pm, abusive behaviour to allied health staff , and other physicians (all of which I witnessed). When cameras were installed into the staff car park, one physician chose to park his car elsewhere (which I also witnessed) presumably to avoid being seen leaving early. I was made to sign in and out of the hospital when no one else was. I would, I admit, arrive late, but would also stay much later than needed. That didn't matter, the hours I worked, didn't matter. This has all broken me. I cannot work and it sucks because I have a huge amount of experience and knowledge to give. But I am unemployed
