An inquest opens into the death of Solihull patient Christine Baker – the third of 62 cases.
A mother-of-two operated on by a disgraced breast surgeon was not told other experts believed her recommended treatment was not the safest option, an inquest heard.
The hearing was told Mr Baker borrowed £12,000 to pay for the 2005 operation to be carried out privately after his wife was diagnosed with invasive cancer in her right breast. He said Paterson again suggested reconstructive surgery in 2007 but a multi-disciplinary team suggested that was not the right course of action, leaving the couple puzzled.
