I get worse every day and this is a slap in the face

Shamed surgeon who lied about botched ops has new job as head of medical school

- SALLY HIND

A VICTIM of botched brain op surgeon Emmanuel Labram has told how his plum new job is "a slap in the face".

He has landed a top position training doctors in his home country despite being struck off in the UK.

Labram was axed from the register a decade ago for "deplorable" conduct after telling a patient he had successfully removed her brain tumour when he hadn't.

Other Scots patients then came forward claiming to have been left in misery at the hands of the medic.

Now, it has emerged that Labram has been working in a top post at Ghana's first private medical university - where he is responsible for the training of the next generation of doctors.

Aberdeen mum Donna Porter, who was left in a wheelchair after being operated on by Labram, said: "I felt like there was some kind of justice with him being struck off but this feels like a slap in the face now." Labram was struck off in 2013 after a hearing of the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service (MPTS).
