Mother Says She 'Lost Trust' in Hospital Amid Surgeon Patient Review
A parent has criticised the scale of a review into a surgeon's patients, calling the number involved "ridiculous", according to a BBC Health report.
A mother has said she lost trust in a hospital after a review was launched into the number of patients treated by one of its surgeons, according to a report by BBC Health.
The parent, whose identity was not disclosed in the source material, described the scale of the review as "ridiculous", pointing to the large number of patients said to be involved.
Details of the hospital, the surgeon in question, and the specific findings of the review were not included in the available report. BBC Health indicated the review was ongoing at the time of publication.
