Was due to have op on 2nd Feb, and due to Mr Kumar's swift departure it has now been cancelled. Hope his replacements are as well trained as he was !! Don't fancy the local odd jobs man poking around inside me ! Have any other Heartlands patients had their ops cancelled for this reason and what have you been told ?

sammyc

Yeah. They told me today he left with no warning. Mr Nijjar has been operating since around 2009 in bariatrics I think and he is going to get signed off.

So sorry to hear your op has been cancelled. It's so upsetting for all you people who were already booked in.

It seems someone's duty of care went out the window!
