i blame the trust; i read about this a fair bit. given my understanding of how claims are investigated within the nhs, it's their fault she was not fired the moment she was flagged for bad practice. she was flagged, the trust was "investigating" her for SEVEN YEARS during which this happened and then she got suspended. accidents happen, surgeries can go wrong, its part of medical practice. however when a surgeon is reported and documented to have not been keeping up to practice standards and going at her patients like it is a slum in new delhi, she should have been fired immediately. this particular ex-surgeon has had 32 counts of fuckups in surgery over the span of five years (according to my degree, it's expected surgeons make one medical error every 10000 surgeries they perform, she has an error rate of 32 over approximately 1300 surgeries assuming she does one operation per working day). according to an independent investigation, apparently each year nhs is supposed to sack the bottom 5% of surgeons from each trust annually. however in the particular trust she was in, she was smart enough to not log her fuckeries and her antics only came out after several of her patients went for a second opinion. she is incompetent as fuck and should defintely not be a surgeon. atleast not in this country.
this happened over 10 years ago btw in 2015
