‘Someone off street would do a better job’

A doctor’s level of competence was so low that “someone off the street” would do a better job than he did, a disciplinary inquiry heard yesterday.

It was also claimed the senior house officer (SHO) in question “doesn’t know what it means to be a doctor” and was unaware of “how basic his deficiencies were”.

Omar Hassan Khalafalla Mohamed was up before the ongoing inquiry taking place at the Medical Council headquarters in Dublin 2.
