A SECOND Tayside neurosurgeon has been accused of botching an operation during the reign of disgraced doctor Sam Eljamel.
Emily Robertson, 45, said she "skipped into hospital" but after surgery on her neck, she was paralysed from the neck down.
And, even though the paralysis was temporary, lasting damaged caused by her spinal cord being partially severed has left her wheelchair-bound and without any independence.
Emily, who lives near Coupar Angus, has been battling for 12 years for answers and says the damage was not inflicted by Eljamel.
She said: "I know Eljamel wasn't my neurosurgeon but he could have been at the operation as he was the head of the department.
"They took my life away and did nothing to try to fix it." When Emily tried to complain she was told, because she had signed a consent form which warned paralysis could happen during the operation, there was nothing else to discuss.
She had surgery after two years of suffering stiffness to her neck, and headaches. An MRI scan showed herniated discs in her neck.
