Disgraced breast surgeon Ian Paterson told an inquest he “fought very hard” for a mother-of-two he operated on to have the treatment she wanted, while medics who disagreed with him were “a bit dysfunctional”.
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.
