Cleared doctor: Millions on my defence ‘very hurtful’

Paschal Carmody said yesterday “it is very hurtful” that he has had to spend millions of euro to defend his innocence over the past nine years.

Dr Carmody also said that lives of his former patients were lost after the Medical Council intervened in 2003 to prevent him from further providing his range of treatments to 150 cancer patients.

He said: “I believe lives were lost. I have no doubt that lives were lost.”
