Doctor jailed after mother-of-three dies during botched hospital procedure despite husband begging him to stop An elderly doctor whose gross negligence caused the death of a 48-year-old mother-of-three during a bone marrow biopsy has been jailed for three years, despite previous concerns about his competence and an earlier procedure that left another patient permanently disabled. Dr Isyaka Mamman, 85, of Cumberland Drive, Royton, admitted manslaughter by gross negligence following the death of Shahida Parveen at the Royal Oldham Hospital in Greater Manchester. Mrs Parveen had attended hospital for a bone marrow biopsy intended to help doctors confirm a possible medical diagnosis. However, what should have been a diagnostic procedure ended in tragedy when Mamman attempted a dangerous alternative technique without her consent, puncturing the protective sac surrounding her heart. The court heard that Mrs Parveen’s husband had desperately pleaded with the doctor to stop as his wife screamed in pain. Despite those warnings, Mamman continued with the procedure. Mrs Parveen had initially been referred for a bone marrow sample to be taken using the conventional method through the hip bone. When Mamman was unable to obtain a sample using that approach, he decided to attempt the biopsy through her sternum, or breastbone. The alternative procedure carried significantly greater risks. The court heard that Mrs Parveen had not consented to this change in approach. As Mamman inserted the biopsy needle, he missed the sternum and caused a fatal puncture wound to the pericardium, the membrane surrounding the heart. The injury proved fatal, leaving Mrs Parveen’s husband and three children facing the devastating loss of a wife and mother. During the criminal proceedings, the court heard that Mamman’s clinical conduct had previously raised serious concerns. Three years before Mrs Parveen’s death, he had performed a bone marrow biopsy on a 64-year-old man that resulted in the patient being left permanently disabled. The court was also told of another earlier incident in which questions had been raised about his medical practice. Despite these concerns, Mamman had continued working and carrying out procedures. His age and the history of previous incidents became significant issues during sentencing, with the judge questioning why hospital management had failed to take stronger action. Mrs Justice Yip said Mrs Parveen had been “badly let down”. The judge expressed serious concern about the decisions that had allowed Mamman to continue practising despite previous warnings about his competence. “It is difficult to see why the Trust did not do more, and why you were allowed to continue to work without any measures being taken to address your competence or to support you.” She also said it was difficult to understand why Mamman had not retired following the earlier incidents. The court heard that Mrs Parveen’s husband had been present during the procedure and had repeatedly tried to intervene. He had begged the doctor to stop as his wife cried out in pain, but his warnings were ignored. The fatal injury occurred when Mamman continued with the alternative biopsy technique. Mamman subsequently admitted manslaughter by gross negligence and was sentenced to three years in prison. Following the case, hospital bosses apologised to Mrs Parveen’s family and acknowledged that lessons needed to be learned from the circumstances surrounding her death. The tragedy raised serious questions about patient safety, medical supervision and the responsibility of hospital management to act when concerns are raised about a doctor’s competence. Mrs Parveen had entered the Royal Oldham Hospital expecting medical care and answers about her health. Instead, her family lost a mother and wife during a procedure that should never have been carried out in the manner it was.
