Disgraced breast surgeon Ian Paterson made a “very wrong decision” to perform a mastectomy on an 82-year-old cancer patient who died of post-operative complications, a coroner has been told.
Gladys Currall suffered a perforated duodenal ulcer and cardiac arrest five days after undergoing a mastectomy performed by Paterson, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence for wounding patients after he was convicted in 2017.
