Pathologist not struck off despite 50 errors

A PATHOLOGIST at the centre of a highly critical report that revealed a series of cancer misdiagnoses has been found guilty of professional misconduct but was not struck off the register.

The finding against Lebanese-born Dr Antoine Geagea, 59, was made yesterday by a Medical Council’s fitness-to-practise committee.

The charges against Dr Geagea included wrongly reporting a biopsy on a Tipperary woman, known as Patient A.
