Europe's largest stem cell clinic which treats hundreds of British patients a year is at the centre of a scandal following the death of an 18-month-old baby who was given a controversial injection in the brain, it can be revealed.

A doctor who worked at the clinic is now under criminal investigation over the child's death in August and the serious injury caused to a second child in another alleged botched operation three months earlier.

The clinic has been accused of bungling the operations and failing to respond quickly enough when the surgery went wrong.

“The clinic has been accused of bungling the operations and failing to respond quickly enough when the surgery went wrong.”

Europeans are more relaxed. You can’t rush them when they’re having their latte.

They were just lab rats to him? In England they seem to care more for animal rights than human rights.

As someone who just lost two friends in London hospitals for illnesses that do not often cause death in the States, my advice is: STAY AWAY FROM BRITISH HOSPITALS!

Also, try never to call a hotel doctor in Great Britain. That can be dangerous, too.

This particular event did not happen in a British hospital. The hospital in question is in Dusseldorf, Germany.
