The doctor who failed to spot that Baby P had suffered serious physical abuse days before his death is suing Great Ormond Street hospital over her dismissal.
Consultant paediatrician Dr Sabah Al-Zayyat missed the injuries, including a broken back and ribs, after deciding she could not complete a full check-up because the 17-month-old boy was "miserable and cranky" and instead offered a follow-up assessment.
Two days later, on 3 August 2007, Baby P – now known as Baby Peter – was found dead in his cot in Haringey, north London, after suffering terrible injuries at the hands of his mother, her boyfriend and their lodger, all of whom have been jailed.
Hijab wearing consultant fails to notice a broken back and now sues the hospital that sacked her AFTER the GMC took away her licence to practice.
What a fecking surprise she wants compensation for her failures as a doctor ~ she should be banged up with the b@st@rds that did it to the kid.
