Respected professor of dentistry not see the swelling of the jaw with his patient, advising him often chew sugarless gum. Later it turned out that the doctor was wrong with diagnoses more in 32 patients.
Famous Irish dentist, professor Filllip Lamey, as it became known, missed oral cancer in seven of their patients. Four of them subsequently died from the disease. Working in a hospital, Northern Royal Victoria in Belfast dentist will meet on 46 charges against him. It is reported that a total of a doctor suspected of 33 cases medical errors .
For example, one patient with cancer of the jaw dentist advised to lean on sugarless gum. Cancer patients have learned from Dr. Lamey that suffer from temporomandibular joint dysfunction, or chronic jaw pain, which should help against the gum. In fact, the jaw bone of the patient has already been hit by the tumor. Later on the patient was diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma (a form of skin cancer) that required surgery and radiation.
In another case, a doctor diagnosed elderly patients traumatic ulceration of the tongue. As treatments were prescribed iron supplements that do not give any effect. Later, a 78-year old patient also found squamous cell carcinoma. The most outrageous is that in the map of the patient's written, "refused a biopsy," even though the pensioner did not even offered. Another one patient biopsy was done late, and the results and did somewhere, lost.
