Deep-Rooted Wokery Is Infecting Our Health Service, Say NHS Whistleblowers
18th September 2025
In a hospital in northern England, a middle-aged patient is told he needs a CT scan. It’s an urgent cancer referral. So, he promptly follows the signs in the sprawling NHS hospital to radiology. As he prepares to be loaded into the scanner, staff run through the pre-procedure checks: Any allergies, heart disease, diabetes, previous reactions to X-ray dye? And: Could you be pregnant?
For one senior radiographer, Samantha*, this is a familiar scenario. “It’s mortifying to repeatedly ask middle-aged men – who at that moment have presented for life-saving treatment and are hooked up to monitors and multiple drips – what their sex is. Or worse, if they could be pregnant.”
In around 20 NHS trusts, all patients aged 12-55 having a scan using ionising radiation around the pelvis are quizzed over their pregnancy status – regardless of gender. One trust questions men as old as 60.
The rot has gone deep in Britain. That’s our future … unless we change it.
