Doctor’s Outdated Care Led to Patient Harm | London News
Description
A damning review at St. Helier Hospital reveals a doctor’s dangerous disregard for evidence-based medicine between 2019 and 2023, leading to 12 patients suffering severe harm and three possible preventable deaths. The Royal College of Physicians found the doctor prescribed unproven treatments while withholding effective ones, prompting a hospital apology and a two-year review of over 200 patients. Families, including one whose father died after being dismissed by the doctor, demand transparency and accountability, while legal teams push for independent oversight. The doctor faces GMC investigation, and the trust vows to implement all safety reforms — but victims and advocates say it’s too little, too late.
