Dr Glenn Anthony Kelly,a consultant radiologist and director of accrington victoria hospital's breast screening unit in lancashire,gets paid £100,000 to do his job-to spot breast cancer symptoms in the hospital's patients.
And he was spectacularly bad at it,considering that 61 of the patients he screened were diagnosed with the disease within a year.
After a decade of blunders,the erring doctor is finally out of work.He had been suspended on full pay for the last two years but has been finally been relieved of his duty and £100,000 a year salary.
Two unfortunate people out of 61 patients under his care died of breast cancer.An independent inquiry found that the actual number of patients affected were 61,going back to the year 2000.
But hospital bossed could not dismiss him untill a general medical council investigation was over,because of the terms of his contract,drawn up in line with departement of health guidelines.
Dr kelly still faces a charge of 'deficient professional performance' and could be struck of the medical register.
