A LEADING heart surgeon who alleges that she was prevented from working at a crisis-hit heart unit after she raised concerns about patient safety was allowed back today.

Professor Marjan Jahangiri was suspended by bosses at St George’s Hospital in Tooting, south London, pending a disciplinary investigation into accusations against her.

Ms Jahangiri, the first female professor of cardiac surgery in Europe, says she was the victim of a “campaign” of bullying and harassment and was even sent a dead animal and a decapitated doll in the post.
