An inquiry hears allegations that patients treated by the disgraced surgeon at Eljamel left with severe and life-changing disabilities after surgery. Former MSP Liz Smith gives evidence describing outcomes she says were “horrific,” alleging that patients suffered serious harm following procedures.
Sources also report that Smith contends the harm includes instances where patients allegedly had the wrong parts of their bodies removed. The evidence presented focuses on patient outcomes and alleged procedural failures, rather than specific medical details. Other accounts emphasize the nature of the disabilities described in testimony, while still centring on claims that the surgeon’s actions led to significant injury.
Across the outlets provided, the core points remain consistent: the testimony is delivered as part of a formal inquiry, it references alleged wrongdoing by the Eljamel surgeon, and it describes the alleged consequences for patients as extreme and distressing.
