Doctor is accused of confusing elbow with ankle in x-ray

Dr Omar Hassan, who's originally from Sudan, will learn what sanctions he'll receive from the medical Council in the next few weeks.

The verdict follows a ten-day inquiry which heard 11 allegations and sub-sets of allegations against Dr Hassan.

 Among these it was alleged that Dr Hassan failed to provide adequate or appropriate medical care to patients and, on one occasion, it is claimed he misidentified an x-ray of an ankle as being one of an elbow.

Dr Hassan, who represented himself at the committee, totally rejected the allegations and claimed he had been the subject of unfair treatment and career damage.
