A Cambridge university Professor is deliberately accused of fluttering in a bid on bid for bid to promote an £ 1M brain damage compensation claim in a bid in a bid. Shock,
Orthopedic Surgeon and Cambridge School of Medicine Lecturer Dr. Mohammad Atef Hakmi, 64, was released with permanent disability and had to leave surgery after suffering a stroke at home in November 2016.
Claiming failure to immediately diagnose his stroke, he missed out of the possibility of significant treatment, resulting in brain damage and physical disability, is now prosecuted for more than £ 1 million loss on NHS in London’s High Court.
But only after scoring “very bad” 84 on a pre-testing IQ test As part of the case – despite continuing to teach in one of the most reputed universities in the world, putting it well below the UK average – Dr. Hakmi has been forced to intentionally refuse to throw tests to promote her claim.
Dr. Hakmi is a heartfordshire-based orthopedic surgeon and medical teachers who specialize in foot and ankle surgery, as well as lectures in the UK and abroad.
He is a partner Royal college of surgeons And the court listened by the court at the University of Cambridge, where he plays a teaching role.
He first faced a stroke in September 2016, but he was given thrombolisis treatment and made a very good recovery, returning to the operating theater within a week.
But his barrister, Robert Keller Casey, told Judge David Pitve KC that the surgeon had a second stroke in November 2016, spotting the first symptoms when he worked on paperwork at night.
Warning signal of a stroke
What are some initial warning signals to look out?
Symptoms and symptoms of stroke vary from person to another, because different parts of the brain are often affected.
However, there are some common symptoms that are meant to look out, for which it can be remembered using fasting – which stands for the face, WeaponsSpeech and time.
Rai says, “Face – his face may fall aside, so check if the person can smile and see if his eye or mouth has fallen to one side.” “Weapon – On one side there may be weakness of hand, so check whether the person can pick up both arms.
“Speech – Their speech may be affected and can be slu, so check if the person can clearly speak and understand you. And t is for time – because it’s time that you call 999 immediately if you see any of these signs.”
Bauvery says: “Other signs of a stroke may have blurred vision, memory loss, dizziness or confusing and you may experience unstable and a serious headache on your feet. All these symptoms may occur suddenly.”
When the symptoms returned again in the early hours, he went to Lister Hospital in Steven, calling forward and telling the staff that he was having a stroke, the barrister said.
However, he was not given the same treatment before examining by the A&E doctor and then spoke to a stroke specialist on the phone to suit NHS’s remote stroke treatment system.
He says he was told that he would not be offered thrombolisis because he was “not a stroke,” suggestions with a remote doctor that it could only be a migraine or epilepsy.
It was not till 9 am that day that his stroke was diagnosed in the hospital, the point at which it was too late to treat with medicines as before.
Dr. Hakmi accused NHS of “cumulative and inter-related” failures, including “cursor and sub-standard examination”, and was able to talk to a remote stroke specialist over the phone due to the malfunction of NHS’s telemedicine system.
Mr. Keller said that Dr. Hakmi was permanently disabled by stroke, but the worst injuries could be avoided in the lister and for the negligence of the employees on the remote stroke line.
With a lame and low sensation in his fingers and toes, he suffers from fatigue in his right hand, hand and grip, which prevents him from doing long -term complex tasks.
They were also abandoned with a brain injury, resulting in short -term memory loss, impaired concentration, processing speed and “executive deficit”.
“Their confidence is low, and he is experiencing significant depressive symptoms due to physical, cognitive, speech and language issues arising out of his second stroke, which negatively affecting important aspects of his life,” he said.
“Thus, Dr. Hakmi presents with cognitive deterioration, including intellectual functioning, memory, speed on which he is processing information and executive functioning.
“At the time of the index incident, he was employing full -time NHS and was a busy private practice.
“They now have no private practice. He has returned to his NHS employment, but is performing restricted duties due to issues arising from his second stroke.
“He no longer does no surgery. But for a violation of duty, the claimant is likely to have a good recovery. He would be able to return to all types of surgery, which did not require a high degree of manual proficiency.”
But NHS Barrister John de Bono Casey denied that Dr. Hakmi is paying due to any damage and accused of completing their symptoms during the evaluation by experts before the test.
Barrister told the court that the “very bad” IQ score, he scored below the range in the memory test.
He said that Dr. Hakmi scored only 84 runs on an IQ test, kept them below 86% of the general population, saying: “It is very bad – it suggests that it will be difficult to act as a surgeon or as a teacher at that level.”
He was also evaluated by two neurocycaologists, who performed memory tests with “very amazing” and sometimes “amazing” results, which he said that “whether he was carrying his best attempt” created a serious concern about “.
Dr. Hakmi was unable to remember the number of more than four marks in a row during an examination and scored so low in the tests that in some cases he was below 99% of the population, which continues to work as a “teacher” at the undergraduate level.
Dr. Hakmi spoke proudly in his work witness box with Cambridge University, “You scored surprisingly for someone at the level you are telling this morning.”
“I think you feel very strongly that as a result of this second stroke you have faced a lot,” they continued.
“I think you think you have the reason for being suffering as bad as you have due to mistakes or negligence. I think it makes you angry.”
He suggested that Dr. Hakmi’s “sense of injustice” may desire to ensure that “people fully understand the effect you have.”
“Is it possible when you went to test that you performed worse than this, because you should have done them because you were trying to display them how big the effect was?
“A possibility that I have put in front of you is that you were deliberately weak.”
But Dr. Hakmi refused to play for the medics who assessed him pre-test, telling the court that he had received “tiredness” testing.
He denied being dishonest with doctors, told the judge, “It was a tired atmosphere when the tests were not conducted in a long and organized manner.
“Any one can fail a test but should be given the best chance,” he continued.
“I definitely have a memory problem, a slow effort. I have done everything to reduce my loss. I know that I am not definitely before stroke.”
Mr. D. Bono mentioned a “memory and merging” test, the resulting score “was at a very chance level,” Telling Mr. Hakmi: “Somebody who gave a random answer to someone would have scored almost as badly.”
Accusing them of “not being straight”, who assessed them pre-examination, he said: “A pattern is emerging. In any case, you will try and say whatever you think that whatever your objective is, you are going to help you to achieve whatever is your objective.”
But Dr. Hakmi hit back: “I have become straight into everything in my life. I have targeted to become a surgeon again, but I have failed.”
Disadvantage claims against East and Northern Heartfordshire NHS Trust, which runs Lister Hospital and Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, where the Remote Stroke Doctor was Dr.. Talked to Hakami.
Both the trust convicted, stated that he was “treated with proper care and skills by highly competent physicians at all times.”
They were evaluated as inappropriate for thrombolisis treatment because their symptoms were not quite severe and were too late after the onset of their symptoms.
Such treatment can also be risky, takes a significant risk Brain bleeding And death, NHS barrister said, and even if it was given to him, the result would have been the same.
The test is going on.
