Top NHS boss backed surgeon whose failures contributed to deaths

NHS head backed heart surgeon linked to patient deaths to resume career despite failures, an investigation found. Dr. Karen Booth had multiple clinical errors leading to deaths and was not skilled for some surgeries, yet Sir Jim Mackey supported her return after retraining. Despite opposition from colleagues, the Freeman Hospital plans for her to resume surgeries, with the GMC lifting restrictions. Concerns about public safety and GMC's actions amid patient deaths have been raised, highlighting issues in the medical field's accountability.
