Humza Yousaf shouted down by patient of disgraced surgeon as he makes SNP indy speech

The former patient of a disgraced surgeon brought the SNP’s independence convention to a standstill to demand a public inquiry.

Theresa Mallett, 61, from Glenrothes, said she was left with life-changing injuries after undergoing botched surgery for sciatica from ex-NHS Tayside doctor Professor Sam Eljamel.

The neurosurgeon is thought to have harmed hundreds of patients while working at Ninewells Hospital in Dundee.

Ms Mallett, who was initially booed for her interruption by SNP delegates, was consoled by First Minister Humza Yousaf as she accused the health board of negligence.

The lifelong SNP member has now quit the party and told Mr Yousaf only a full public inquiry will restore her faith in the party.
