词条 James Elwood
释义

  1. References

James Stanley Elwood (born 1922) is a retired British pathologist who was responsible for 222 cancer misdiagnoses between 1995 and 2000.[1][2][3] During the period concerned he was practising as a locum at four NHS trusts: the Princess Margaret Hospital in Swindon, the Royal United Hospital Bath NHS Trust, the Mid-Sussex NHS Trust and the Frimley Park Hospitals NHS Trust. He also worked in Tralee. [4]

Among the patients who received faulty diagnoses was archaeologist Carenza Lewis, who later spoke publicly about the consequences of the resulting unnecessary surgery.[5] Elwood was not subject to any disciplinary procedures, having removed his name from the British medical register. He initially refused to co-operate with the investigation of his misdiagnoses by not divulging the details of his medical career.[6]

Elwood graduated with bachelor's degrees in medicine and surgery from the University of Belfast in 1943.[6]
