A Polish brain surgeon who was suspended following the death of one of his patients scored a record low in a performance test.
Neurologist Wlodzimierz Szepielow had been working at Ninewells Hospital in Dundee until his contract was terminated last year.
A panel in July 2011 had found Dr Szepielow?s fitness to practise was impaired as a result of his poor professional performance, but agreed he could continue to work under supervision for 18 months.
Last year he sat a knowledge test and needed to achieve a mark of 52 per cent to pass.
However, he could only manage 17.5 per cent, the lowest mark an assessor with more than 15 years? experience could recall.
