Medical history of David S Halpin as of 12-11-2025 DOB 14-04-1940
in narrative style
Briefly - I qualified MB BS via St Mary's in 1964, spent 11 years in surgical training as was usual, FRCS 1969, and in 1975 was appointed as a trauma and orthopaedic surgeon at the Princess Elizabeth Orthopaedic Hospital Exeter where I mostly trained and eventually lead, and at Torbay Hospital.
I include some of the many adverse effects of Lithium started in me in 1992, continued for 27 years without any review, and concentrate on the renal tract. Lithium is useful in mania and possibly in the longer term for so called bipolar disease which I do not have. It is both neurotoxic and nephrotoxic. Its mechanism of action is unknown! I am sure that it binds securely to cell membranes. I learned recently that Susan my wife was instructed by Dr Galli my GP and Dr Gillespie psychiatrist that I should never stop taking this.
Most relevant history. Some note form for brevity
Fit young man - rugby, rowing in racing eights. Married Susan at age 21. No babies - azoospermia found sadly, after Sue first investigated! Probably did well in 'finals'. About 10 days after qualifying after three weeks of examination started as HP to the Medical Unit at St Mary's under the inspiring Prof W.S Peart - a 'plum job' as we would say which I had applied for. BUT - 'they' could not get locums and I was the only house doctor for 2 wards - with 50 patients, most of whom were very ill. + Emergencies coming by ambulance via GPs etc and via ‘Casualty’. The unit concentrated on renal disease and hypertension. I hardly slept for the ten days and did not go back to Sue and our flat in Kew in that time.

Doctor Hussam Abu Safiya has been near tortured unto death by 'Israel' and the 'Western Nations'. He, a paediatrician and neonatologist, headed the Kamal Adwan Hospital in the north of the world's largest concentration camp before its final erasure by the Death Cult. The UK Attorney General must save him.
Hiroshima August 6th 1945
London Agreement - US, UK, France and USSR setting up Nürnberg to prosecute Nazi war criminals - August 8, 1945
Nagasaki August 9th 1945
That is - Each participant knew of an Holocaust as it sat, and would have known of that to follow in less than 24 hours. That is - 'Business as Usual'
The fascist -"The sub-human who delights in crushing the life out of humans' as in Gaza. DSH
Note that the unelected 'president' of the European Commission, Dr Ursula von der Leyen, displayed the Star of David in laser light on the EU Brussels headquarters on 10-10-2023. She thus showed her allegiance to the Death Cult, in which child sacrifice and torture are in the Satanic cauldron.
This is an appeal to our foremost law officer in the UK - Lord Hermer. I saw you being interviewed in Downing Street by one of the BBC's liars ie all omission, after the standing down of Starmer. It was very low key and without the gravitas one would expect in your lordly position.
This refers to a doctor colleague, Dr Abu Safiya, who towers above the midgets inhabiting Westminster along with yourself. This is the Wikipedia account https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hussam_Abu_SafiyaThis was a report on X dated the 29th of DECEMBER 2024. This is from the online edition of the Palestine Chronicle with this sentence heading it "This is Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya whom the whole world failed!

We are writing to you to draw your attention to a case which requires urgent intervention. Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, the former director of the Kamal Adwan Hospital in Northern Gaza, is facing death as a result of extremely brutal torture. He was unlawfully arrested by the Israeli army on 27 December 2024 when his hospital, then one of the last remaining hospitals in Gaza, was ultimately destroyed after a month-long siege. He has since then spent more than 500 days in an Israeli prison without charge or trial.Amelia' Flower Barn: Failed Custodianship of Teignbridge District Council?

I add that I realise you hold four very responsible posts. These being Devon County Councillor, Teignbridge District Council and Leader of the council currently, Member of the Dartmoor Park Authority, and finally a Member Peer of the Local Government Association. This latter responsibility should guide you in responding to conscientious questions raised by a resident of 50 years who cares very deeply about our beautiful area and the society within it.
I add that this is the first of several planned postings regarding deficient custodianship of the parts around the Teignmouth Estuary.
I ask you to read the two attachments in the first posting. First a brief survey of my earlier objections to this hideously large 'development' to do eventually with the growing and selling of flowers. This used to be done by families in the valleys of Combe and Stoke from small wooden sheds.
I say this relying on memory but I am open to correction. The applicants Mrs and Mr Cooper-Smith badgered the planning officer Artur mercilessly in my view, as if there was urgency. They were deceitful, given that the first purpose stated was for the storage of hay, but there was no substantial hay field nor appropriate numbers of stock.
But I focus on the key condition which was to excavate down ONE POINT TWO meters for the foundation. This was to lessen the impact of this very large erection within the 'beautiful brecchia landscapes' of this parish - this to quote a planning officer. Breach of due process was added to by this condition being tabled with others at a February 6 meeting of Haccombe with Combe PC from which Amelia Cooper- Smith, then a member, did not recuse herself.
The erection went quickly ahead to general surprise and anger, partly because other 'unfair' developments were well known in a generally timid parish.

In his report to the Conservative Party’s Economic Reconstruction Group in 1977, Nicholas Ridley wrote that:
"...denationalisation should not be attempted by frontal attack but by preparation for return to the private sector by stealth. We should first pass legislation to destroy the public sector monopolies. We might also need to take power to sell assets. Secondly, we should fragment the industries as far as possible and set up the units as separate profit centres."
Dear Charing Cross (CX) surgeon 7.15 am 23-04-2026
Again forgive me addressing you again but it seems I am dealing with a phantom CX urology unit. I was expecting to hear from 'Emily' - I believed by e-mail, who called me on my wife's cell phone at c. 4.45 pm yesterday. It seemed that she was making a list for admission - she spoke of a referral from my GP requesting investigation of a bladder problem I understood. I told her briefly of the 11 weeks now of haematuria etc as below. And that the original referral from Dr Johnson at Ashburton Surgery was first made 3 weeks ago. I had learned from you that there had been 'teething problems' and you asked that Dr Johnson send his referral letter again. He did that Monday 13th April.
Having had no contact from 'Emily' I attempted to 'phone CX urology unit from 4pm today. I had 02033111334 in our directory but it did not ring out. I found 'admissions' on the Imperial urology website - 02033116611. It was the common - and useless 'voice recognition' and I thought it a probable call centre. The male telephonist's name I did not catch on the second call, the line having closed with the first. He said 'there is no surgical order from a consultant'. I said 'which consultant?' He then advised that I phone urology OPD - 02033135000. Again 'voice recognition' - chose to wait for an operator - 'very high call volume' etc - . I did not use 'ring back' - and it rang on and on.
