Neil Hopper of Cornwall, UK, was a respected vascular surgeon with more than a decade of experience before he was exposed for deliberately causing his own disability for a disturbing reason.
It was revealed in March 2023 that his below-the-knee limb loss was not caused by sepsis, as initially believed, but resulted from him dunking his legs in ice and dry ice to damage them and fulfill his fixation with amputation.
Now, more than three years after the revelation, the daughter of a patient he operated on has broken her silence, saying she refuses to believe that “there weren’t ulterior motives behind the operations he carried out.”
