Breast cancer surgeon Ian Paterson has been branded a “monster” by his patients as he was jailed for 15 years.
Paterson carried out unnecessary operations, including mastectomies, on hundreds of patients – possibly to boost his earnings.
Dozens of victims turned up at Nottingham Crown Court for the sentencing – where the judge told Paterson his arrogance left him feeling untouchable and added to his “complete lack of remorse”.
Judge Jeremy Baker said: “You deliberately played upon their worst fears, either by inventing or deliberately exaggerating the risk that they would develop cancer, and thereby gained their trust and confidence to consent to the surgical procedures which you carried out upon them.”
I’m reading the story in The Guardian, sounds a bit controversial.
Reading the bit about the lipoma, and him wanting to remove it at all costs.
Lipomas rarely turn into cancer, but a small part could actually turn into liposarcomas, so maybe he was just staying on the safe side if it was larger than a 2/3 cms growth.
At this point they could also infiltrate muscle tissue.
Very controversial trial…and hard to establish who’s right or wrong, methinks.
Lipoma turning to cancer is rare
Methinks it was all about money and the Insurance & NHS not wanting to pay for some of the procedures that the patients were undergoing, as they were expensive, and maybe, just maybe, this guy was looking out for the patients interest and well being ?
Also find it very odd he was jailed, as usually in cases like this the patients are compensated..and it ends there; it’s very, very rare the surgeon/doctor is prosecuted and jailed.
He was definitely costing the Insurance/Nhs too much money.
By jailing him , he’s possibly ended doing them futhermore financial damage.
The patients were compensated and a Jury convicted him. He funded his life style on the misery of many women. The only ones who arent paying out are the private sector, the Spire hospital. The thing thats going on here for those who cant quite grasp whats happened!! This wanker conned women into having unnecessary surgery by telling them they could die if they didnt! He is a butcher who played god with these women. This happened over a span of 14 years and i hope the others who worked with him will be getting asked some questions they must have known? how can they perform surgery on a woman to find shes got nothing wrong with her over and over again? He’s a present day Dr Mengele. a jury of six men and five women agreed with the prosecution that Paterson carried out “extensive, life-changing operations for no medically justifiable reason.
We dont need lecture on Lipoma’s Dr Bloss, amazing what google drags up.
A Channel 5 documentary about Paterson is due to air on May 31.
You first learn your punctuation, then you can come and lecture me on what I should and should not lecture you about.
I don’t know enough about him or anything/everything he’s apparently done (and neither do you, I presume, besides what you know from the media…or am I wrong? ) to discuss this any further, as I’m not discussing something based on media coverage, but I’d have loved to be part of that jury….or even been his defendant.

Sorry, meant ‘defence’not ‘defendant’.
