Personally, in this very last few months, they've effected '...Good Cop/Bad Cop' (whether or not it was 'deliberate'), i quote "it's all down to Dr __, I can advocate to him on your behalf, but in the end, it's his decision", threatened '...penalise you for having gone private/self-medicated', and I have also witnessed such "myths" occur to others in the last year, and known friends subjected to them, including the arbitrary withdrawl (by ordering GP) of hormones.
It's good i guess to have them admit, even if it is begrudingly and vaguely, that they have been abusive in the past, but a begrudging and vague admission is not the outright and unreserved public apology that shows honour and respect.
One also noted the lack of a stated cut off point for past malpractice, or should we take it that they continued doing so right up until October 31st?
Similarly there is no mention of their unreasonable, discriminatory, and (in these times) stupendously unrealistic, demand that one has been in work or study at the very time of seeing them, nor the excessively multiply negative response to trans females who wish for genital surgery daring to continue to use their genitals for sex in the meantime. Should one take the omission of these from the list of myths as implicit admission they do practice these?
Yes, I know that they are better than in the past, and yes, i know that most of the problems, or at least the most severe ones, stem from one particular individual who remains, with the others having a semblance of ethics and wishing to do a better job, but if this is an attempt to obtain a clean slate its a failed move.
I'd rather they rooted out the infection and any flesh that has been supporting it's continuing ravages, than merely change the dressing.

Have you ever heard of a Diabetes Clinic whose patients fear it?
