An experienced doctor killed a father-of-four after giving him a lethal overdose of local anaesthetic before a routine hospital operation .
Christopher Hales , 56 , collapsed and died at Wythenshawe Hospital in May 2017 after the `` catastrophic '' error by Shahid Khan , 63 , a cardio-thoracic surgeon of nearly 30 years .

An experienced doctor killed a father-of-four after giving him a lethal overdose of local anaesthetic before a routine hospital operation.
Christopher Hales, 56, collapsed and died at Wythenshawe Hospital in May 2017 after the "catastrophic" error by Shahid Khan, 63, a cardio-thoracic surgeon of nearly 30 years.
Khan's professional conduct "fell so far below the standard to be expected of any doctor as to be criminal" as he pleaded guilty to gross negligence manslaughter at Manchester Crown Court today.
However a judge decided not to send Khan, who is himself in poor health, straight to prison as she suspended his jail term.
Khan, from Ashton-under Lyne, is no longer employed by the hospital and is set to be struck off. He was also made subject to a 10 month curfew as an "alternative to immediate custody."
The hospital trust said "a number of lessons have been learnt and improvements implemented" since Mr Hales' death, reports the Manchester Evening News.
Devoted family man Mr Hales, formerly a chef in the Merchant Navy, a local council worker and taxi driver, developed smoking-related lung problems during his life which became more serious in 2017, the court
heard.

However he was soon admitted to NMG again, in April 2017, with a collapsed left lung.
After an initial discharge the pain continued and he was re-admitted to NMG on May 2 before being transferred to Wythenshawe Hospital on May 12.
On May 15, 2017, Mr Hales was offered several different treatment options by his consultant and he opted for bedside talc pleurodesis with his wife, Carmen, coming into the hospital to be at her husband's side.
A talc pleurodesis is a procedure where talcum powder is introduced into the chest cavity between the outer layer of the cavity and lung surface to 'stick the lung to the chest wall', the court was told.
The talc also acts as a 'glue' to seal to seal holes in the lung, reducing the risk of it collapsing again.
The prosecution said the procedure was "a basic one that could be performed by any junior doctor", and that Mr Hales should have been able to go home after a short period of recouperation.
Mr Khan was asked to carry out the talc pleurodesis as he was the 'on-call' registrar on that day.
However the court heard his "preparation for and execution of the anaesthetic plan was disastrous."
He decided to administer two agents, one faster acting and one that had a longer effect, both at their maximum dose.

A report by an independent expert concluded that Mr Khan's standard of care fell "seriously below" that expected of a "reasonably competent practitioner."
Mr Hales leaves behind his wife, their daughter - who was 11 at the time of his death - and three adult children.
The judge, Mrs Justice Yip QC, told Khan: "You were an experienced surgeon entrusted with carrying out a routine procedure on (Mr Hales).
"For reasons which are still not entirely clear, you made a catastrophic mistake and administered a toxic dose of anaesthetics which killed him.
"That is what is sometimes described as a 'never event.' It should not have happened.

He was off for just over two years, with the judge saying: "Sadly, there is evidence that after your illness you may not have been the doctor you once were."

Mrs Justice Yip said "any case of gross negligence manslaughter will almost invariably require an immediate custodial sentence" but that " each case must turn on a detailed consideration of its facts."
Khan was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2018, and is also currently living away from his family to provide care for his elderly mother, the court was told.

"The balance at any time would be a fine one," she said, "however, taking account of everything, I do find that the balance is tipped in favour of suspending the sentence."

Mason Mount’s biggest problem in an England jersey is that he is not Jack Grealish.

thedailymirror--2020-11-10--Mings dignified amid the chaos on another embarrassing day for English football

Tyrone Mings admitted English football “ still has a long way to go ” after another highly embarrassing day for the national game .
Greg Clarke , one of the most powerful men in football , was forced to resign after making a series of deeply offensive remarks which begs the question whether we really are stuck in a time warp .
Incredibly , the story and developing storm unfolded around Mings and the Aston Villa defender acted with great dignity and class to put an archaic figure like Clarke to shame .
Mings started the England press conference live @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the TV cameras with questions about whether Clarke should resign and his impending departure .
By the end of it , Clarke ’ s departure had been confirmed and the FA ’ s announcement was put to him as the final question in front of the written media .
Yet through it all , Mings spoke with maturity and authority as he offered valuable insight into where the game ’ s leaders should go from here .
Just two weeks ago , Mings spoke passionately about the FA ’ s new diversity code @ @ @ @ @ @ @ questions about the man at the top of it and his outdated remarks about “ coloured footballers ” along with other racist , sexist , homophobic and deeply offensive remarks .
Mings said : “ That phrase may have been acceptable once upon a time but with what is going on the world highlights even more than I can , more than what the code can or players or staff , that we still have a long way to go .
“ There is no shame in that .
Evidently we have a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but in wider society as well .
“ I feel with all the work we ’ re doing this year and everything that has happened this year highlighting the issues we have in the world , we are in a position where education is key .

Education is not just the generations coming through , we don ’ t just have to educate our kids on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can and can ’ t say .
“ But also people in Greg 's position , who have lived in different cultures and different times to what we are living in at the moment .
“ Unfortunately that was the case because we are living in a society with such great work and trying to drive things forward and highlight these sort of topics .
I do n't think it has set us back .
I do n't think that one bit .
“ But it has shone a light on what we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ long way to go .
We still have to educate each other , We still have to stay on top of it .
“ And we still have to be aware ourselves and take responsibility ourselves for what we say and ultimately the decisions we make .
I would not sit here and defend it but at the same time there is an element of understanding .
“ When I say understanding , educating the generations coming through is one thing but also understanding that we are living in one world and people @ @ @ @ @ @ @ another one so I do n't think anyone would argue that .
“ It is about moving with the times and understanding the times we are living with.
” In great credit to the FA , they could have easily ducked the issue and it was originally going to be Bukayo Saka facing the questions but Mings is more experienced , more outspoken and he stepped in and tackled the impending storm .
It was a highly embarrassing turn of events and yet the FA fronted up , Mings spoke out and , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Clarke ’ s departure was confirmed .
“ I 'm sure that between him and other senior authorities at the FA and other governing bodies there will be a lot that comes out of that in the next few days and I 'd like my comments probably not to be caught up in that as well , ” said Mings .

“I know I’ve said it before and people say 'education, education, education' but what does that mean or look like? Education is not just the generations coming through, we don’t just have to educate our kids on the society of today or what you can and can’t say.

“But also people in Greg's position, who have lived in different cultures and different times to what we are living in at the moment.
“Unfortunately that was the case because we are living in a society with such great work and trying to drive things forward and highlight these sort of topics. I don't think it has set us back. I don't think that one bit.
“But it has shone a light on what we are saying. We still have a long way to go. We still have to educate each other, We still have to stay on top of it.
“And we still have to be aware ourselves and take responsibility ourselves for what we say and ultimately the decisions we make. I would not sit here and defend it but at the same time there is an element of understanding.
“When I say understanding, educating the generations coming through is one thing but also understanding that we are living in one world and people who came before us are living in another one so I don't think anyone would argue that.
“It is about moving with the times and understanding the times we are living with.”
In great credit to the FA, they could have easily ducked the issue and it was originally going to be Bukayo Saka facing the questions but Mings is more experienced, more outspoken and he stepped in and tackled the impending storm.

It was a highly embarrassing turn of events and yet the FA fronted up, Mings spoke out and, by the end, the news of Clarke’s departure was confirmed.
“I'm sure that between him and other senior authorities at the FA and other governing bodies there will be a lot that comes out of that in the next few days and I'd like my comments probably not to be caught up in that as well,” said Mings.
However, Mings deserves to emerge with credit as he has a strong voice and a new power from a generation of footballers who can speak up and make a difference.

A vaccine may not deal the “ knockout blow ” to coronavirus , Boris Johnson appears to have admitted .
The Prime Minister said no single scientific approach would defeat the virus “ on its own ” in an exchange at PMQs .
It comes as speculation mounts that social distancing and lockdowns will continue for months despite progress on a jab .
NHS staff are being told to prepare to work weekends and bank holidays distributing a jab from Pfizer as early as next month - if it gets regulator approval .
But while 5million Brits would get the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ scenario , it could take months to go further .
And officials said today there is still no agreed plan for around half the country - including all healthy people under 50 .
A strict priority list will ensure care home residents , over-80s and NHS and care staff are among the first to get the jab - followed by people aged 50 to 79 and younger adults with health conditions .
But healthy adults under 50 are in “ phase 2 ” of any vaccine programme , and no details for that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said the “ best way to get this country back on its feet ” is to keep “ driving the virus down ” .
He listed three things - lockdowns , mass testing and a vaccine - and said neither would be enough on their own .
Mr Johnson said : “ It ’ s a week since we entered into the tough Autumn measures we ’ re now in and I ’ m grateful to the people of this country for the sacrifices they ’ re making .
“ And I ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Liverpool - tens of thousands of people in Liverpool are now taking part in the mass testing work that ’ s going on there .
“ And it ’ s fantastic news that we now have the realistic prospect of a vaccine .
“ But science has given us two big boxing gloves as it were , with which to pummel this virus , but neither of them is capable of delivering a knockout blow on its own .
“ And that ’ s why this country needs to continue to work hard @ @ @ @ @ @ @ observe the measures we ’ ve put in and I ’ m grateful to the party opposite for the support they ’ re now giving for those measures.
” Government experts today said “ phase one ” of a rollout would protect 99 % of those at risk of death from Covid .

But current thinking is they would start with care home residents and workers , then older individuals , going down age @ @ @ @ @ @ @ adults with underlying health condition would then be prioritised before the over-50s during phase one of the programme .
`` If phase one is completed then we will have protected hopefully over 99 % of those individuals who are at risk of dying from Covid-19 , '' he said .
Officials have not decided who should be vaccinated after phase one .
Teachers and key workers like delivery drivers are not on the current priority list , and there is no priority given to BAME people who appear at higher risk .
Professor @ @ @ @ @ @ @ vaccines may act differently on older people , that may of course impact on how we prioritise the use of vaccines .
`` As new vaccines become available we may prioritise vaccines differently for different people . ''

Asked what the Prime Minister meant, his spokesman said the government was doing a “range” of things including increasing NHS capacity and improving treatment.
Asked if social distancing of mass testing could have to go on for years, the spokesman replied: “I think the point we’re at with the development of the vaccine is we’ve had some promising results in relation to one vaccine.
“But we haven’t yet seen the safety data.
“Once all of that’s published, we’ll be able to evaluate it and the Prime Minister will be able to take advice from experts on just how effective it’s going to be. But we’re not at that point yet.”
