Neil Hopper, a British surgeon aged 49, was sentenced to two years and eight months in prison for fraud after he caused the amputation of both his legs with dry ice to obtain nearly £500,000 from insurance. He was also charged with possession of extreme pornographic images. The judge emphasized that Hopper acted out of personal and sexual interest, and his conviction has raised concerns among former patients, who are now seeking legal advice. Hopper worked for the NHS until his arrest and has been suspended from his position.
