Man's stomach 'unnecessarily removed'

A 26-year-old man whose stomach was unnecessarily removed after he was wrongly diagnosed with cancer broke down as he told the High Court today of his shock after finding out that there had been a mistake in the diagnosis.

Alan O' Gorman said: "It's extremely difficult to put into words. I was so annoyed. I was so angry and bitter about the whole thing, how they could make such a simple error in diagnosing someone so young."
