What does that tell you!
A vascular surgeon had his own legs chopped off to claim nearly £500,000 in insurance, a court has heard.
Neil Hopper, 49, is accused of dishonestly making false representations to insurers, claiming his leg injuries were the “result of sepsis and were not self-inflicted” between June 3 and June 26, 2019.
One claim, to Arriva Group, was for £235, 622, while another to Old Mutual was for £231,031.
Bodmin Magistrates’ court heard that Mr Hopper was also charged with encouraging someone else to remove the body parts of others.
He has been accused of buying videos from the Eunuch Maker website showing the removal of limbs, which “encouraged Marius Gustavson to remove body parts of third parties” between Aug 21 2018 and Dec 4 2020.
Mr Hopper has not worked at the Royal Cornwall Hospitals NHS Trust since March 2023.
