Suspended Surgeon Operated on Boy, Mother Claims
5 Mar
Summary
- A boy died two months after surgery by a suspended surgeon.
- His mother alleges he suffered severe pain and felt pressured.
- The hospital has offered apologies for care failings.
In 2015, a nine-year-old boy named Jack Moate died two months after surgery performed by Kuldeep Stohr, a surgeon who was later found to have been suspended. Jack experienced significant blood loss and endured continuous pain following the operation. His mother recounted feeling pressured into consenting to the procedure for her son, who had complex medical needs.
Independent experts have since expressed significant concerns regarding Jack's operation, noting it carried substantial risks given his condition. They also identified a lack of imaging before his discharge, and a subsequent scan revealed the procedure had been unsuccessful. The hospital trust has issued an unreserved apology for the failings in Jack's care.
