Case 14 (2004) A 71-year-old woman died after suffering catastrophic blood loss during surgery to remove a cancerous tumour from her liver. The surgeon admitted that he should not have continued the operation after finding that the tumour was twice the size he had expected, and was near important blood vessels. He was also alleged to have had his picture taken with her dissected liver during the operation. He was charged with manslaughter and other offences. He pleaded guilty to manslaughter.
