A doctor who deserted his family to join Islamic State ranted about the NHS, saying medics were treated like beggars.
Issam Abuanza, 37, worked in Britain for seven years before going to Syria.
The Palestinian-born doctor, who is married with two young children, made the rant shortly before he arrived England in 2006.
He told overseas graduates sitting tests on their English language and clinical skills that they needed anti-psychotic drugs to work in the NHS.
In his comments in April 2006 on a bulletin board, he added that getting a job was difficult because ‘every now and then you are begging the human resources or the consultant to give you a locum position’.
He warned colleagues to leave the following back home: ‘Your dignity because you are a beggar here; your career, no progress as either locum or clinical observer, you won’t write more than that in your CV; your future, there isn’t any; and your family, no doubt.’
Abuanza, who comes from a family of doctors and dentists, is thought to be the first NHS clinician to join IS.
He trained as a doctor in Iraq in 2002 before gaining British citizenship.
His postings on social media show how he radicalised he now is.
Abuanza worked at Glan Clwyd Hospital in Rhyl, North Wales, between May 2007 and July 2009.
He also worked at Scarborough Hospital.
