Oldham surgeon struck off after wrongly connecting patient's organs
- A former consultant general and colorectal surgeon, acting as the General Medical Council's expert witness, said the procedure carried out by Dr Rahman was "not known to man" and his error was "as bad as it gets".
- Rahman, who qualified in 1993 from Ain Shams University in Cairo, Egypt, did not attend the hearing and was not legally represented.
- He claimed he had been made a "scapegoat" after a "witch hunt" following the operation, carried out at the Royal Oldham Hospital, where he was working as a locum on 25 August 2020.
