Cancer blunder doctor keeps job | |
(about 2 hours later) | |
A clinical scientist judged to have shown a lack of competence over the botched treatment of a teenage cancer patient has been found fit to practise. | |
Dr Stuart McNee worked at the Beatson Oncology Centre in Glasgow where Lisa Norris was given 19 radiation overdoses during treatment for a brain tumour. | |
The 16-year-old later died from the tumour at her home in Ayrshire. | |
A Health Professions Council hearing upheld charges against Dr McNee but decided he should not be struck off. | |
Lisa was initially diagnosed with the tumour in October 2005, and was given radiation 58% higher than prescribed in January 2006, which left her with burns on her head and neck. | Lisa was initially diagnosed with the tumour in October 2005, and was given radiation 58% higher than prescribed in January 2006, which left her with burns on her head and neck. |
