Dr. Habib Rahman, an orthopedic shoulder specialist, is under investigation by Britain's General Medical Council. His patients at Spire Parkway Hospital have been "recalled," or asked to return to the hospital to "assess whether their care was appropriate," after the Royal College of Surgeons completed a probe of Rahman's diagnoses and surgeries.
