Breast surgeon Ian Paterson needlessly harmed patients A breast surgeon who "played God" and carried out "completely unnecessary" operations has been convicted of intentionally wounding patients. Ian Paterson, 59, carried out "extensive, life-changing operations for no medically-justifiable reason". His motives were "obscure" but may have included a desire to "earn extra money", Nottingham Crown Court heard. Paterson was found guilty of 17 counts of wounding with intent, relating to nine women and one man. Jurors also convicted him of three further wounding charges. …. Jurors were not told Paterson carried out hundreds of unnecessary operations on NHS patients, with a hospital trust paying out £17.8m in damages and legal costs…. Greed eh!
