A British vascular surgeon who deliberately inflicted injuries upon himself that led to the amputation of his legs has been jailed for fraud after he falsely claimed nearly £500,000 (around $675,00) in insurance payouts.
The surgeon, Neil Hopper, 49, told insurers that the injuries were a result of sepsis, but a court heard that his actions were motivated by a long-held ambition and a sexual interest in amputation.
