A campaigner has alleged that an imprisoned breast surgeon may be liable for over 1,600 deaths due to medical negligence

Ian Paterson, a disgraced surgeon, is presently serving a 20-year prison sentence for performing unnecessary, life-changing procedures on both men and women.

Coroners in Birmingham are presently investigating the deaths of 650 individuals under his care. However, former patient Debbie Douglas believes the amount might be significantly higher than 650 deaths, as Paterson’s botched ‘cleavage-sparing’ mastectomies left behind breast tissue which risked the reemergence of cancer.

Medical gaslighting makes me furious — too many women are being let down by our healthcare system

In the week that CervicalCheck campaigner Lynsey Bennett spent in a cemetery, when by right she should have been at home with her children, another funeral was taking place. The details were horribly, tragically similar. This was the funeral of the mother of a two-year-old child, also in her thirties. In the front row sat a young widower, stoic but shell-shocked, flanked by young siblings. His little toddler, dressed in a puffer jacket, chatted with family members , ducking around the altar as toddlers do, seemingly oblivious to where they were, and the fact that this would be as physically close as they would ever be to their mother again. “They won’t remember any of this, thank god,” someone said to me afterwards as I cried about the reality of this child losing their mother. I still don’t know if what they said is a good thing or not.
