Prison for a British surgery, amputation, motivated by a strange mania
Investigations revealed that Hopper, who has worked for years within the British National Health Authority NHS, resorted to severe injuries by himself by deliberately using snow, which led to his legs damage and later pushed doctors to amputated, thinking that he had bloody poisoning.
According to the prosecution, the doctor made fraudulent claims that exceeded 466 thousand pounds, and even wrote in one of his own letters that he should take advantage of the situation to the maximum degree.
The court clarified that its motives were not only financial, but were associated with what was described as a sexual obsession with amputation. Since his childhood, he suffered from a disorder in the physical identity that made him see his legs as an unwanted burden, which interfered with a rare condition medically known as Apotemnophilia, where the person feels a sexual arousal associated with amputation of the limbs.
Evidence also showed his communication with an electronic network linked to a gang led by the life sentencer Maris Goutever, who specializes in extremist physical adjustments, and Hopper also acknowledged that three extremist classified clips containing deliberate mutilation scenes of the body.
For its part, the Royal Cornwal Hospital Administration confirmed that the charges against the doctor are not related to his professional work inside the hospital, noting that independent reviews have proven that there was no danger to patients who have undergone his surgery.
