When the healthcare service becomes a tool for revenge and administrative intimidation.
Call for involuntary commitment following the publication of journalistic investigations

Have employees in the Health and Social Services in Oslo abused their authority to silence journalists and pressure patients?
Systematic Pressure from the Health Administration: Documents Reveal Unusual Interventions Against Whistleblower in Oslo
A comprehensive collection of internal documents, emails, audio recordings, and photos shows how employees in Oslo’s health and social services used their positions and internal networks to exert pressure on a citizen who had uncovered serious violations within the healthcare system. The pressure began after his formal complaint was dismissed in violation of key patient and user rights.
The material indicates a coordinated effort across agencies, where both administrative and medical actors contributed to measures that appeared aimed at silencing the critic rather than addressing the substance of his complaint.
Background of the Case
Between 2022 and 2023, an unfit doctor at Skøyen Health Center encouraged employees in the health and social services to take measures against the complainant in order to avoid being held accountable for his own violations. According to central documentation, there are audio recordings in which the doctor threatens violence, expresses contempt, describes patients as “liars and untrustworthy,” and mocks the entire patient-complaints system.
Instead of facing the consequences, the doctor chose to use his position to build a misleading narrative within the healthcare environment. He used medical information to damage the citizen’s reputation and distort facts in ways that served his own interests. By portraying the citizen as a “potential threat” and spreading fear among healthcare personnel, he influenced their professional assessments. Through this strategy, which combined power pressure and targeted disinformation, he managed to secure support from several employees, paving the way for a series of arbitrary and unjust measures against the citizen.
Coordination and Manipulation
The documents reveal that employees in the health and social services under the County Governor of Oslo prepared and delivered punitive and retaliatory reports to the doctor, which were later used as the basis for measures aimed at pressuring and forcing the complainant into silence. The purpose of these reports appears to have been to intimidate the complainant and coerce him into compliance, especially after it became known that he had recordings and evidence clearly exposing the doctor’s actions, evidence that contradicted what the doctor had stated during the investigation.
The complainant, however, did not yield, but uncovered the truth and the hidden motives behind these actions.
That such actions originate from a supervisory authority such as the County Governor of Oslo, which is meant to ensure professional integrity and legal safeguards makes the situation even more serious.
Administrative Obstacles and Harassment
For several years, the affected citizen encountered rejections, delays, and evasive responses from health authorities, often delivered in a hostile tone, a practice that appears to be a deliberate strategy to prevent him from exercising his rights.
Reports show that assessments and responses were drafted that ranged from statements restricting or limiting rights to others that seemed neutral in tone but were used to evade responsibility, along with comments of a sarcastic or derogatory nature. These included, among others:
“You cannot appeal this decision.”
“Your complaint will not be answered if it concerns the same doctor going forward.”
“Repeated ironic or sarcastic remarks reflecting the content of the complainant’s original inquiry.”
“We assess that further follow-up of the case contributes little to achieving the purpose of supervision.”
“We will, however, take your information into account in our further work.”
“We assess that this does not pose any danger to the citizen’s life or health” a comment given after violations that the health authorities knowingly ignored, functioning to downplay the seriousness of the case or conceal deliberate breaches.
These formulations constituted a clear strategy to obstruct the complaints system and apply pressure on the complainant.
Retaliation After Publication
After the citizen publicly released documentation revealing critical conditions within the healthcare system, the reactions escalated significantly. The documents show that employees within the supervisory structure in Oslo instructed local health services to implement punitive measures against the citizen, including denial of healthcare, fabricated accusations, and systematic ignoring of well-documented complaints.
Taken together, the material presents a clear pattern of arbitrary application of the law, appearing as a retaliatory response against someone who had exposed systemic failures.
Autumn 2024: An Unusual and Disturbing Shift
In the autumn of 2024, the municipal doctor in the Ullern district took a serious and dramatic step after receiving an inciting phone call from the senior physician in the Frogner district. The municipal doctor refused to disclose who had influenced him or prompted him to act, despite the fact that this phone call formed the starting point for the entire series of serious events that followed.
The documents show that the doctor who initiated these allegations was not a peripheral actor, but the central driving force behind the crisis. Since 2022, this doctor has played a leading role in a series of documented incidents involving threats, contempt for patients, fabrication of baseless accusations, and active encouragement of other doctors and health leaders to act against the aggrieved party, all to avoid accountability and divert attention away from his own professional misconduct.
Furthermore, the documents show that the same methods were used to influence employees at the County Governor of Oslo, who were misled by false and manipulative information. This resulted in a coordinated retaliation campaign in support of the doctor, at the expense of justice and the law, where positions of power and internal networks were exploited to implement measures against the harmed individual in a manner that violates both legal requirements and ethical standards.
Serious Psychiatric Allegations Without Medical Assessment
According to written communication from the autumn of 2024, the municipal doctor contacted the emergency team at Diakonhjemmet Hospital, Vinderen DPS, after what he described as “several reports of concern” that the affected person might be paranoid. Despite the emergency team confirming that the case was neither clinically assessed nor followed up, such serious psychiatric allegations were forwarded without examination, medical evaluation, or review of the medical history, in direct violation of fundamental principles in Norwegian health and administrative law.
This type of undocumented insinuation of severe mental health conditions constitutes a serious breach of medical neutrality and demonstrates how psychiatric terminology can be misused as administrative tools without professional grounding.
Official Denial, but the Documents Reveal the Truth
Despite official denials from the municipal doctor and his supervisor, Giske Edvardsen, the documentation shows that the contact did in fact take place. This makes the denials an attempt at concealment rather than a genuine disagreement.
Contact was made with the municipal doctor in August 2025 to request a comment, but he refused to answer any of the questions posed and abruptly ended the conversation by hanging up, without offering any explanation for the allegations raised against him.
Communication with the Ullern Health and Social Committee, via the committee secretary Giske Edvardsen, took place after municipal employees recommended submitting a formal inquiry regarding what was perceived as an abuse of position by the municipal doctor. This included, among other things, statements suggesting “insanity” directed at the citizen, without any independent investigation, medical assessment, or professional justification.
The committee secretary, who was responsible for the municipal doctor, dismissed the complaints and stated in a phone call that she did not agree with the content, did not believe it, and that she needed further evidence.
This attitude reflects a systemic issue: the obstructive and uncompromising handling of complaints, which undermines trust in local oversight mechanisms and weakens citizens’ legal protections.
The complaints have been ignored for over three months, while local health authorities began imposing sanctions without responding, despite the complaints being submitted with reference numbers and through the official complaint system on the City of Oslo’s website and other relevant health centers. And even when a response eventually arrives, it comes too late and is often inconsistent with or directly contradictory to what was previously agreed. It also fails to address ongoing violations, and the replies include conflicting and incorrect dates.
Official documents show how a systematic campaign was initiated against the affected individual: Prior to 2025, the health authorities at the County Governor of Oslo handled complaints in a normal manner, but since 2022, a doctor had manipulated and misled the highest authorities, effectively giving local authorities the green light to act against the affected person. On March 15, 2025, Ullern district used previous complaints and administrative pretexts as justification to undermine the affected individual’s credibility and refused to follow up or independently assess the complaint.

The correspondence between the committee secretary in Ullern and the municipal doctor shows how the affected individual became the target of suspicion and retaliation, and that his responses to the allegations were met with complete silence. The documents and the documented investigations clearly reveal this context, demonstrating how these biased methods were enabled through systematic encouragement and directives from the highest health authorities at the County Governor of Oslo.
"Testified on November 24, 2025"
The article exposes involuntary admissions in mental health care without judicial review or independent oversight, a violation of human rights. August 2025: The person affected was subjected to similar measures as retaliation for publishing journalistic investigations into abuses in the healthcare system.
Attempted Unregulated and Unethical Collection of Health Records to Undermine the Complainant’s Legitimacy and Deprive Him of His Rights
The material shows multiple attempts to obtain health records in an unregulated manner, later used as leverage. This was part of an organized strategy to protect internal networks and avoid accountability.
The Recurring Pattern: The Case of Trond Harald Håland
The case of Trond Harald Håland, covered in an extensive NRK report, demonstrates that this is not an isolated incident. Håland was forcibly admitted to a psychiatric ward in Stavanger following a series of Facebook posts, without undergoing an independent and comprehensive medical evaluation. This triggered a national debate on the misuse of psychiatric measures as tools of control and punishment.
Comparing Håland’s case with the current case, supported by documented and official evidence, reveals a troubling and recurring pattern:
Psychiatry used as a tool for retaliation or punishment.
Diagnoses applied in a vindictive context and driven by administrative pressure.
Administrative networks pushing sanctions against critics and opponents.
Systematic attempts to inflict lasting damage on individuals’ social and professional reputations.
When the same methods and procedures appear in both cases, a fundamental question arises:
Have certain psychiatric units begun functioning as mechanisms of control rather than treatment institutions?
Psychiatry as a Weapon of Power: A Threat to Citizens’ Safety
Investigations indicate that the individual was subjected to retaliation through fabricated doubts about diagnoses and unfounded psychiatric claims. This constitutes a clear violation of human rights and medical principles, transforming healthcare from a safe institution into a tool of fear and administrative control.
Need for Independent Investigation
An independent investigation is necessary, not only to ensure justice for the affected individual but also to protect all those who refuse to remain silent about abuses, and to prevent healthcare institutions from being transformed into instruments of control and punishment.
This Scenario in Oslo’s Healthcare System Raises Several Legitimate and Socially Critical Questions
Severity of such allegations
To what extent is it acceptable for serious labels, such as calling someone “insane,” to be applied abruptly and without a clear professional or institutional process within the healthcare system?
Motives and internal considerations
Could such characterizations sometimes be used based on internal considerations, conflicts, or pressure between employees, rather than being grounded in objective and professional assessments?
Implications for patient and public safety
Should patients and citizens be concerned about the possibility of similar incidents recurring, or about the emergence of practices that could be perceived as a form of “institutional bullying” within the public healthcare system?
Consequences of filing a legitimate complaint
Has submitting a professional complaint or requesting an internal investigation become so sensitive that it can occasionally provoke backlash, where the complainant themselves is subjected to negative labels simply for exercising their legal right to ask questions and demand accountability?
Fair treatment of academics and journalists
When it becomes so easy to assign derogatory labels to highly educated individuals or journalists, especially those with foreign backgrounds who insist on speaking the truth or pointing out wrongdoing, it raises deeper questions about social justice:
If these groups can face such treatment, what then about patients or individuals who lack the resources or voice to defend their basic rights? And how many cases may have been silenced or dismissed without being properly examined or fairly addressed?
Criticism and equal application of the law
If straightforward journalistic criticism or professional questioning can cause discomfort among certain responsible actors, how can the lack of consistent application of the law in the system be explained? Why is it, even indirectly, that the rights of some individuals are violated in favor of others, as if justice in healthcare could be guided by selective considerations?
Overall conclusion
"This overall picture raises a profound and legitimate question about the extent to which Oslo’s healthcare system is committed to transparency and accountability, and whether patients and citizens, especially those with foreign backgrounds, can trust that their rights will be safeguarded without fear, discrimination, or arbitrary actions."
"It seems that in some corridors of the healthcare system, the law can become mere decoration, and professional integrity a personal game to reshape the facts according to individual desires."
The documentation shows that the sequence of events escalated through the doctor in question, who took over the office of the retired physician at Skøyen Health Center in 2022 and 2023. Documents and witness statements indicate that his administrative influence was used in a way that created a climate of pressure and intimidation, by employing certain healthcare workers as instruments of improper influence, after reliable information emerged questioning the legality and safety of his professional practice.
These circumstances reveal a complex background that illustrates how the abuse of healthcare authority can become an unethical tool causing psychological, moral, and social harm to patients. Reports indicate attempts to stigmatize certain patients with psychiatric labels that were not based on accurate medical assessments, as well as the preparation of reports with punitive or harassing characteristics, appearing as reactions to patients presenting facts or information that certain authorities did not wish to acknowledge.
The documentation also shows deliberate attempts to threaten and silence journalists and critics who exposed or documented the abuses, including implicit threats and pressure to prevent publication and investigations, aimed at obstructing the truth and protecting the interests of certain authorities.
Furthermore, the documentation raises questions about the equal application of the law in Oslo, particularly concerning patients with foreign backgrounds, where reports indicate discriminatory practices that undermine their rights and human dignity. This suggests a potential pattern in which some citizens are not recognized as full legal subjects, despite having the same legal rights as others, as enshrined in the constitution regarding equality and the protection of all citizens’ fundamental rights.
Taken together, this situation raises fundamental questions about procedural safeguards, legal security, and the distinction between medical authority and individual rights, emphasizing the need for an independent review to ensure that healthcare institutions are not used for practices outside their professional and humanitarian framework in Oslo.
