The Hospital Where Routine Heart Operations Became a Death Sentence
5th June 2025
Now, it has been revealed that a catalogue of surgical errors, doctor in-fighting and omissions from death certificates has led police to investigate the deaths of 11 patients who had the same procedure at Castle Hill’s cardiology department between 2019 and 2023.
Documents seen by The Telegraph reveal how “a rolling power struggle” between consultants charged with running the cardiac unit distracted from caring for patients, while hospital executives alleged that doctors’ abuse of the whistleblowing system had been a “weapon of mass destruction that has harmed patients”.
All of the 11 patients were having a TAVI installed. It involves doctors replacing a damaged valve by accessing an artery, often in the upper leg, and feeding a new valve through a wire all the way to the heart, where it will sit inside the old valve and restore normal function.
Don’t you just love that government-provided ‘health care’ in the UK? Don’t you just wish the U.S. had a similar program?
This is what Democrats want to do to us.
