Breast surgeon Ian Paterson needlessly harmed patients
One patient said Paterson 'ruined their life'
A breast surgeon who "played God" and carried out "completely unnecessary" operations has been convicted of intentionally wounding patients.
Ian Paterson, 59, carried out "extensive, life-changing operations for no medically-justifiable reason".
His motives were "obscure" but may have included a desire to "earn extra money", Nottingham Crown Court heard.
Paterson was found guilty of 17 counts of wounding with intent, relating to nine women and one man.
Jurors also convicted him of three further wounding charges.
Paterson, of Altrincham, Greater Manchester, was granted bail and is due to be sentenced in May.
The trial heard Paterson, who treated thousands of patients during his career, exaggerated or invented cancer risks and claimed payments for more expensive procedures in some cases.
Surgeon 'played God' with women's bodies
Paterson 'psychopathic like Shipman'
Ian Paterson performed "unorthodox and unregulated" procedures
The seven-week trial heard the accounts from 10 victims - representing a sample of those Paterson treated - operated on between 1997 and 2011 at the privately-run Little Aston and Parkway hospitals in the West Midlands.
Jurors were not told Paterson carried out hundreds of unnecessary operations on NHS patients, with a hospital trust paying out £17.8m in damages and legal costs.
