Doctor’s notes had no record of mole removal

A DOCTOR is before a Medical Council fitness to practise inquiry over the care he gave to a man who died of cancer 15 months after a mole was surgically removed from his back.

Dr Peter Peng-Cheng Ting, a GP in Artane, Dublin, accepts he did not arrange for a biopsy of the mole and failed to keep adequate patient records.

Dr Ting, aged 51, who faces a number of charges of professional conduct, accepts that he did not respond to letters from the council. He has claimed he was in a state of denial at the time and was hoping the matter would go away.
