A surgeon who told a patient he had successfully removed her brain tumour and urged her not to seek further treatment had in fact not removed it, a misconduct hearing has heard.

Emmanuel Labram allegedly convinced his patient that she was healthy for two years after operating a tumour growing at the base of her brain. By the time she sought private help, her tumour was inoperable, according to the Times.

Mr Labram is now appearing before a Medical Practitioners Tribunal Hearing.

How does a person live with themselves after doing something like that? Especially a Doctor.

Trust, but doubt.
I'm more interested in why he would lie to her. If they went through the trouble of having the actual surgery, why not remove the tumor?

Uh I believe they usually capture the whole surgery in video and photograph the tumour for evidence purposes everytime they perform such large scale surgery, or do they not?

> If they went through the trouble of having the actual surgery, why not remove the tumor?
I believe it's a very complicated surgery. The surgeon is probably lacking in confidence that his patient will survive.

Or maybe he's just incompetent and thought that he'd actually removed the tumor completely. I mean, he is a doctor.

If you're quoting the title of the article, then I don't think you should be making that assumption off of a journalist's inadequate literary skills. It's placed in quotes because it's an assumption they've made, and apparently it's alright to write articles based around opinions and beliefs instead of fact these days.

Swim, fishies. Swim through the veil of steel.
Well the article says he "removed four fragments". That implies he knew the surgery wasn't complete.

ALL OF YOU BE QUIET!

Now, that's over... He thought he had removed the tumor by removing the four segments, four pieces, more often than not, makes a whole. She had a second and third MRI scan, and the Doctor noticed that there was a tumor there. That's when the Doc lied to the patient, not before nor after. He also thought that by removing the four segments, he had removed the tumor.

It all is very clear if you'll actually read it.

But he still lied to her. So, how can you trust a doctor/ surgeon again "?

What, are you saying that she can't trust the new doctors telling her it's still there? I'm pretty sure they can just show her the MRIs and point it out to her to give her a good idea for her ownself.

Doesn't matter he removed the segments, He still lied to her "that he removed the tumor."
So, how can she trust him again after that. eh?

He allegedly operated on the woman at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary in September 2008, where instead of removing the legion, which at the time of discovery in 2007 was an inch in diameter, he removed four fragments.

Seriously, if the four fragments are not the tumour then what bloody 4 fragments could he have possibly removed... from the brain?!
Maybe that's why the patient become brainless enough to sue the doctor afterwards.

No, wait. Am I supporting the doctor now?

    I tried to open a food truck in Sandpoint a few years ago but the city said no, then like two years later they passed new laws to encourage it and gave them all fucking tax breaks and shit. And at that point I didn't have enough money to go buy one so I was way too late to the game once other cities realized they could just bring their existing truck there, or sell their brick and mortar.
  • Varine Varine:
    I do like food trucks though, they're way more fun than restaurants and usually I also get some of that tip money there.
  • Varine Varine:
    Restaurants are really hard if you don't have a back up source of income to fund them sometimes, in my experience most owners either got really really lucky, had existing money that allowed them to buy an already successful one, or they have family money to fall back on for loans. It's few and far between to see very inspiring success stories where the person actually got it through hard work and perseverance. I thought about opening one lots and I always just end up not thinking it'll work. I would much rather just find someone that has that money and go work for them
  • The Helper The Helper:
    i am not talking about opening a brick and mortar I am talking about food trucks though I have seen some brick and mortar mexican places open up during covid that are doing good because there food is awesome!
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Food trucks are killing out here because Bars cannot open unless they sell food and the governor ok'd the use of a food truck in front as serving food
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Just not enough food trucks
  • The Helper The Helper:
    a buddy of mine just opened up a food truck and he is killing it but he is a great cook and has awesome food right in the middle of the pandemic too food trucks are immune to pandemic because they are take out in Texas you will always be able to get take out or delivery
  • The Helper The Helper:
    He is in the different food facebook groups in houston and posts videos of him making his food
  • The Helper The Helper:
    he is killing it
  • jonas jonas:
    @Varine with the restaurants, there surely is a lot of luck and hard work but most restaurants fail because they suck. Flair isn't right, economics not well thought through, food is mediocre or sucks, location is bad, etc. If you're thinking about opening one, make sure you're looking at the stories of those that would be playing at your level, don't let your hopes be dragged down by all the subpar restaurants out there.
  • jonas jonas:
    I'm a bit worried about the future of data science, there's an influx of incompetent people hired by incompetent managers, that can't last. But I'm sure smart data scientists will always be useful and hireable. Same as smart security people.

    My sister in law worked in a vegan food truck, the owners were also making a killing, added several trucks and opened two restaurants over 5 years
  • Ghan Ghan:
    The CompTIA stuff is pretty much crap unfortunately. The places that ask for those low-level certs aren't likely places you want to work. For IT you really want a degree, but in the meantime you need to figure out some way to learn the skills. Cybersecurity is really hot right now so competition is fierce.

    I realized I don't have anything much to say, other than "Good luck!". Compared to other places, I'm just very lucky we didn't have a lot of surges of cases coming in.

    My daughter just got back from school at Georgetown TX, outside of Austin and said there were 100 cases in the last week but she also said nobody was wearing a mask anywhere so people mask up and stay safe!
