Patient 'devastated' after suspension of spinal surgeon
Shaye Armour, from Greenock, has congenital kyphosis scoliosis, a condition which causes his spine to bend forward.
The 13-year-old was being treated at Edinburgh's RHCYP under the care of paediatric spinal surgeon Chris Adams as part of a series of planned spinal operations this year.
His mum Nicole said she was told by NHS Lothian that Mr Adams, who had been Shaye's surgeon for nearly a decade, was no longer available to treat her son but she was not able to find out why from the senior official she spoke to.
Nicole said Shaye "was devastated" by the news as he was very close to Mr Adams, who she described as a "great man".
