Surgeos are human, they can make mistakes, or be misinformed on things just like anyone else can. Blindly trusting anyone is a bad idea.

Surgeons are indeed human. They are also very highly trained.

Do you really think one person can make the same ‘mistake’ in excess of 700 times?

I agree, blindly trusting ‘anyone’ is a bad idea but when someone is deemed an expert in their field, should you not be able to put your trust in them to act in your best interests?

Are you claiming that whenever you need or receive professional advice you always seek a second opinion? I doubt it.

Next time I have tonsillitis I’ll be sure to book a second appointment with a different doctor – just to be sure….

It fails me why you continue beating this awful drum when it’s obvious to everyone not only how ridiculous your argument is, but that you seem to be playing Devil’s Advocate for no other reason than to be contentious.

Behave.

Pay attention.

It doesn’t say the surgeon made the same mistake 700 times, it says the patients were “recalled” , which is different.

The patients who redevelopped cancer were 68, from what the papers say..

Being recalled implies the women who underwent surgery with him in more or less the same time period were being checked in order to check if they redevelopped cancer.

I (and not I alone) have personal experience of this, and I’m not just talking of a single episode.

When I was 17 I developed a growth on my neck.

First surgeon said it was something I could have removed in day hospital with local anaesthetic .

I wasn’t convinced so went for a second opinion.

This one told me I had to be hospitalised; infact he was right, as the growth  was deep rooted into a nerve and had to be put to sleep in order to remove it and I was hospitalised for a week.

I have also proof of this if you want as I have a 4 stitch scar on my neck to prove it, before anyone says I’m lying.

Some are even uncapable of reading a scan properly.

But this wasn’t my point.

From the Guardian:

Paterson was convicted last month of 17 counts of wounding with intent at Nottingham crown court, relating to nine women and one man.

——————————————————————

If wounding with intent implies removing a lipoma ( as it’s obvious the man involoved is the one who had the lipoma removed), the Juridical  system has gone mad.

It may  have been unnecessary to remove it, but theyre best removed as they can grow very big.

A friend of mine had one removed on her back 16 days ago – it measured  10 x 10 x 5 cms and has now a lovely 12 stitch  scar on her back; what was the surgeon supposed to do, suggest the man keep it there till it grew to this size?

Is my friend supposed to  sue the doctor for removing her lipoma, just because it  wasn’t mailignant?

He’s making that claim merely to make money.

It’s obvious.

Just this tiny part of the case is absolute bollox, reason for which I said I’d have loved to hear the whole case out  in 1st person.

So….we have a court furnished with barristers and a judge who have no clue what the definition of Sect 18 GBH is. Add to that the police and CPS (who decide what to charge).

Blossom, we obviously need you back in Blighty right now to start running the country to right all these terrible wrongs and miscarriages of justice.

No wonder we’re in the state we are.

It’s your fault for not being here.

You know what there are certain posters that have commented on this thread that quite clearly never been in the situation where a diagnosis of cancer has been given to themselves or a loved one.

As soon as the “C” word is mentioned nothing else is heard or retained by the patient.

Most (most NOT all) see it as a potential death sentence & just want to know what happens next .

The first thing going through their head is NOT is this health professional pulling a fast one or Is this really a lipoma !

Those poor patients put their trust in that corrupt Dr & any normal human being would not automatically be demanding 2nd opinions or questioning the integrity of their consultant.

I sincerely hope they never find themselves in that situation .. I bet they wouldn’t be so smart with their comments then.
