A recent report has raised serious concerns about the conduct of a surgeon at Royal Sussex Hospital, where they allegedly used a penknife to perform an emergency operation. This case highlights the risks patients can face when safety protocols are compromised.

An internal review admitted that a student’s life could have been saved with quicker intervention, and multiple whistleblowers have exposed further patient harm. In some cases, patients were left “effectively maimed,” and police are now involved in the investigation.
