No, this is not about our Defender of Quackery, our Quack in Chief His Royal Quackiness, Prince Charles, but about the Distinguished Provost of the Royal College of Alternative Medicine, Professor Joseph Chikelue Obi . And yes, it is just a rather lame story written solely to get a picture of Kate on my blog.
I've written a rather lazy blog on the distinguished professor before that was just a bit of a gawp at his quacktastic website and what looks like a health phone line scam.
Well, I've done a little more digging with Google and it has revealed a few quack gems. It has been pretty hard work, since Google returns some 6,000 pages, the vast majority just appears to be Joseph Chikelue Obi self promotion. However, if you persist in digging a few interesting facts turn up.
So, what has the little black duck found out about the "most Controversial Retired Physician and 'A List' Medical Celebrity, Dr Professor Joseph Obi "?
Here we go...
1. The Irish Independent reports that his college does not exist at the Dublin address given on the web site. There's a surprise! It's just a front.
2. The Independent goes on. "In January 2003, he was suspended by for serious professional misconduct at South Tyneside District Hospital. Among the allegations made were that he failed to attend to patients, wrote strange notes about colleagues and at one point gave a dating agency phone number to a psychiatric patient."
3. He was being investigated by the police for taking thousands of pounds of a 58 year old woman to in order to cure a long standing illness.
4. The GMC strike Dr Joseph Obi off their register for "serious professional misconduct". So much for him being retired.
5. On another tack, Dr Obi has been involved in a little cyber squatting. This looks as if it took place while he was a doctor always after a few quid!
6. Since then, now self titled Prof Obi, a few new avenues have been opened, including trying to entice Kate Moss away to one of his 'safe houses' in Ireland. Hat's off!
