A mother-of-three was killed by a doctor who lied about his age and botched a routine procedure, a court has heard.
Shahida Parveen, 48, attended an appointment for a bone marrow biopsy to further investigate suspected myeloproliferative disorder.She was seen to by 85-year-old Dr Isyaka Mamman, then 81, who had previously been suspended by medical watchdogs for lying about his age, but was hired by the Royal Oldham Hospital as a haematology specialist, despite previous dismissals for poor performance.
Despite repeated objections by both the patient and her husband, he proceeded anyway with the wrong biopsy needle, and pierced her pericardium - the sac that contains the heart - and caused massive internal bleeding."I told him to stop three times and he did not listen. He killed her." Mamman qualified as a doctor in Nigeria in 1965 and had worked in the UK since 1991. In 2004 until Ms Parveen's death, he worked for the Pennine Acute Hospitals NHS Trust.However, his age has been a matter of controversy, as he has given several different dates of birth over his career.
