Surgeon Faces Charges After 15 Month Delay In Cancer Diagnosis
A Dublin based surgeon is facing two allegations of poor professional performance at a Medical Council fitness-to-practise committee after a patient did not receive his results of a biopsy for skin cancer until 15 months after the test was carried out.
Mr S, a 58-year-old man from Knocklyon, Co Dublin, had a biopsy in August 2008, but did not find out until November 2009 that he had malignant melanoma. He died the following month.
Consultant surgeon Mashood Ahmed, originally from Pakistan, worked at the time at St Columcille’s Hospital, a public hospital in Loughlinstown, and at the Beacon Hospital, a private facility in Sandyford.
He allegedly failed to ensure the results of his patient’s biopsy were pursued or to ensure there was a follow-up appointment made for Mr S.
The case continues.
