Language Proficiency Failures: UK Doctor Faces Suspension
Dr. Tomasz Fryzlewicz, a 65-year-old Polish cardiologist, has been suspended from practicing medicine in the UK for the fifth time after failing his 10th attempt at passing an English language proficiency exam. His poor command of English has been a consistent concern, with colleagues struggling to understand him, which they say posed a risk to patient safety.
Despite his repeated failures, Fryzlewicz claims he is the victim of a “witch hunt” and “indirect discrimination” due to his nationality and religion. He has been employed at several NHS hospitals over the years, but each time his language skills became a point of contention, leading to his suspension. He will face another review next year to reassess his ability to meet the language requirements.
Dr. Fryzlewicz has worked in various health hospitals, but his poor language skills have led to repeated disciplinary action. Despite these suspensions, Fryzlewicz claims he is a victim of discrimination due to his nationality and religion
