The NHS surgeon who butchered his patients
As a public inquiry into brain surgeon Sam Eljamel begins, Martin Geissler and Laura Miller hear how the former NHS doctor was able to harm dozens of his own patients.
Sam Eljamel (pictured) was a top NHS brain surgeon who harmed dozens of his patients, leaving some with life-changing injuries.
