Dr Mamman continued with the procedure even as his patient 'screamed' in pain and her husband of 31 years 'begged' him to stop
An elderly hospital doctor has been jailed for three years after he killed a patient during a 'routine' procedure, as a judge slammed 'failings in the system'. Shahida Parveen died aged 48 at the Royal Oldham hospital after Dr Isyaka Mamman carried out a bone marrow biopsy.
Her brother told officers that while he understood people make mistakes, 'this should never have been allowed to happen'. She died in September 2018 before the birth of her first grandchild. The judge said there was a 'troubling' background to the case. Dr Mamman, who does not have a birth certificate as there was no system of registration in Nigeria when he was born, had given incorrect date of births during his career. He was suspended for 12 months after he had lied about his age.
"As the GMC Guidance on Good Medical Practice makes clear, all doctors are personally responsible for their professional practice and must recognise and work within the limits of their competence. Although I acknowledge that you were undergoing yearly accreditation assessments, greater insight would surely have led to you ceasing practice given your true age and these two serious incidents.
