If the perceived outcome of whistle blow is avoidance of mortality , a definite yes ( like my hero figure Semmelweiss)

But I am moving to conservative attitude in cases where the difference in outcome is improvement in morbidity or inconveniences the patient faces. This is due to the fact that I work in a country infested with alternative systems of medicine- which is legal here and are "legitimately " causing a lot of morbidity and sometimes mortality. So if I whistle blow I may be unwittingly promoting alternate systems which will produce the opposite effect!

Who willn bell the cat.

Lord take this cup from my lips. I hope I never have to drink from the cup as graveyards and psychiatrists clinics are where whistleblowers end up.

Few end up heroes. Some do. Most are scorned and reviled.

I have had several as patients and they were shattered by what happened to them. Most had to retire and go on antidepressants.

Even a nurse who was a hero with the Jayant Patel case. He was surgeon in Bundaberg in my state who went to jail for manslaughter. The nurse and not admin or doctors spilled the beans but she is affected by the affair which ended up in a commission of enquiry and a few million hours of barristers in wig-time.

If adequate systems were in place, whistleblowers would be out of a job.
