Disgraced breast surgeon Ian Paterson was regarded as a “divisive character” at his NHS Trust who “was ploughing his own furrow” before being investigated, a coroner examining more than 60 patient deaths has been told.
The third of 62 inquests being held for patients of Paterson, who is serving a 20-year sentence for wounding, has been told Christine Baker died aged 59 in 2015 after putting her trust in his advice to have a “skin-sparing” mastectomy in 2005.
