'She was crying in pain': Husband begged doctor to stop 'highly dangerous procedure' which killed wife

A doctor who killed a mum during a hospital procedure had left another patient permanently disabled three years earlier while carrying out the same test. Married mum-of-three Shahida Parveen died at the age of 48 after attending the Royal Oldham hospital for a bone marrow biopsy.

Dr Isyaka Mamman, now 85, carried out a 'highly dangerous procedure' on Mrs Parveen, instead of the conventional technique, even as she and her husband 'begged' him to stop and she 'screamed' in pain. The doctor, aged 81 at the time, had tried to take a sample from the hip bone, but was unsuccessful and instead took a sample from her sternum.

Prosecutors said it was a 'highly dangerous' procedure rarely used in the UK. Mrs Parveen objected as the doctor asked her to roll onto her back.
