“Joh taar se nikli hai, woh dhuun saab nein suni hai.
Joh saaz pey guzri hai, woh kis dil ko pataa hai.
Everyone hears the cries of the chords,
No one knows what the instrument endures.”
—Asian verse
Whistleblowers are moral warriors. These are people with superior work ethics who come forward to report ethical and legal violations at their places of service. They save lives and uphold justice. They save humanity. It is a better world because of them.
Sometimes.
What is lost in the feel-good vigilantism of “Corporate America is always evil” is that a good portion of whistleblowing is driven by ulterior motives—anger, resentment, hate, bigotry, or a combination of these. In such cases, whistleblowing burns lives, ends careers, and destroys businesses. Yet, there is no recourse for these upended entities to rebuild what the mere flicker of a call unleashed upon them.
I aim to highlight the issue of malicious whistleblowers in the health care industry, though these concerns extend to false accusers across the corporate world.
Medical whistleblowing enjoys unparalleled protection in the business world because of the sensitive nature of our field. Understandably, whistleblower laws aim to shield those who report illegal, unethical, or fraudulent activities in health care, where oversight is crucial. However, these protections are often misused, harming innocent parties, damaging reputations, and undermining the laws’ effectiveness.
“The malicious have a dark happiness.”
