My tremor agony at hands of disgraced brain op doctor

A MUM of three has told how she had to travel to England to get a botched operation by disgraced brain surgeon Sam Eljamel repaired.

Mary Ramsay put her faith in Professor Eljamel when she was told an operation could help control her long-term tremors.

But she was left in agony after an electrode in her brain was found to be in the wrong place by specialist medics in Newcastle.

Elja mel worked at NHS Tayside from 1995 until he was suspended in 2013 after complaints from dozens of patients.

Many were left with crippling aftereffects from his botched ops and a police probe has been demanded.

He has now moved to Libya - where he continues to carry out brain surgery. But Mary, 67, believes he should be brought to justice in Scotland.
