Birmingham hospital trust declared war on me - surgeon

Birmingham hospital trust declared war on me - surgeon John Watkinson was one of the country's top ear, nose and throat surgeons.

He wrote guidelines and ran courses for cancer care. He was invited to work at London's renowned Royal Marsden hospital. If you looked at the front cover of the main surgical textbook for his discipline, you would see his name.

But Mr Watkinson's life and career were turned upside down when he was accused of shortening the lives of three patients, suspended and investigated.

General Medical Council investigators would eventually close his case, taking no further action, and Mr Watkinson would receive an apology for what he had experienced from his employer University Hospitals Birmingham (UHB) NHS Trust. BBC News
