Doctor faces misconduct charges
Dr John Hanson, 40, a consultant radiologist from Malahide, Co Dublin, appeared before the Irish Medical Council’s Fitness to Practise Committee yesterday on nine charges of professional misconduct.
They relate to his care of a patient, Mark Haran who was admitted twice to Our Lady’s Hospital in the space of 10 days in early 2008 with complaints of prolonged headaches, dizziness and vertigo. He died as a result of brain damage at Beaumont Hospital in Dublin on April 4, 2008.
