Reporting Scotland at its most awful as it exploits another traumatised mother to unfairly associate NHS Tayside with negligence 7 years after the last case

Today, we heard:

‘A surgeon who harmed patients in Scotland for years, and can no longer work in the UK, is operating again. [Pause for dramatic effect] The BBC’s discovered that Muftah Salem Eljamel who was suspended in 2013 is working in…Libya! The former head of neurosurgery at NHS Tayside, Muftah Salem Eljamel, removed himself from the GMC register after restrictions were placed on him.’

A look at the surgeon practising in Libya is then suddenly and dramatically replaced, for no reason offered, with an interview extract of a traumatised mother condemning NHS Tayside and the GMC. I feel sure her views were important in helping viewers to appreciate the impact of clinical malpractice on real people, seven years ago, but it’s hard to see what they added to the story today other than to suggest to viewers that NHS Tayside is still worthy of their distrust today. Is that accurate? Is it fair? Nope. I’ve searched and can find not one case of clinical negligence against NHS Tayside Neurology department since 2013.

  1. The programme claimed to have been searching for this man for YEARS! Why? How much has it cost in manhours and £’s?
    Who else are they searching for? Are they now the Pinkerton Agency?

    Perhaps they could find where Boris is hiding out!
    Or the one-armed man.

  2. It is easy to see you idiots were not harmed by this surgeon. What kind of clown are you? You say you searched the Internet to see cases of negligence? Try the Scottish Ombudsman and you will find plenty. You are a clown and I hope you never suffer from any medical negligence. But you do suffer from total ignorance.
