“Doctor suspended over scan errors”
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “A doctor who wrongly gave the all-clear to 20 breast cancer patients has been suspended from practising for a year.
Consultant radiologist Amjad Husien was suspended by hospital bosses after staff questioned his work in 2005.
A total of 176 women had to be recalled and retested after the mistakes were identified, and one of them later died.
A General Medical Council (GMC) panel ruled he “repeatedly failed to provide an acceptable level of care to patients” at Trafford General Hospital.
He placed patients at risk and showed serious and persistent failures to meet required medical standards, the panel added.”
Fyi Only.
