The Dundee DJ who raised the alarm over disgraced neurosurgeon Sam Eljamel will not take part in the public inquiry into the scandal. Pat Kelly – harmed by the rogue NHS Tayside doctor in 2007 – claims key institutions central to the fiasco will not be interrogated. It comes after Eljamel victims were sent revised terms of reference outlining the questions investigators are set to ask.
“These terms of reference only benefit those with a vested interest in keeping this whole sorry affair under wraps,” Mr Kelly said. In 2015, in an interview with The Courier, the former Radio Tay DJ was the first patient to go public about Eljamel. Two years ago, : “I nearly died in 2007, a few days after my surgery, when I began to haemorrhage profusely when the wound opened after a collapsed lung.
“I was given blood transfusions and told by a doctor that I should say goodbye to my wife and son because if the blood went into my lungs I was not going to see out the night. “Can you imagine being told this?”.
