This video examines two heart operations in children carried out by two particular surgeons in the Bristol Royal Infirmary. The rate of death after these operations by these surgeons were far higher than in any other hospital. The warnings by a concerned anaethestist to the hospital administration and the health department were not addressed. The video questions the ability of the requlatory bodies to adequately investigate its practices.
