A medic who wrongly diagnosed Scots children with cancer to scare parents into paying for private treatment has been banned from practicing medicine.
A misconduct hearing ruled Dr Mina Chowdhury, 45, frightened three sets of parents into paying for private scans and tests at his Glasgow firm Meras Healthcare. Chowdhury told families their children had potentially cancerous conditions without a proper investigation before urging them to get further "unnecessary" private diagnoses.
The crook will now be removed from the medical register meaning he will not be able to practice as a paediatrician. We previously told how Chowdhury had continued to rake in cash training other medics while his case was delayed considerably.
