(BBC 18/11/2009)

Dr Otto Chan lost his radiology job at the Royal London Hospital in 2006. He told an employment tribunal the hidden X-rays would mean cancelled operations and missed appointments for people whose scans could not be found. Barts and the London NHS Trust claims Dr Chan, 52, was a "troublemaker" who had "undermined" management.
