- Faye Harrison's mother, Liz Spooner, died after a prolonged leg amputation at Royal Cornwall Hospital in 2022; Faye later discovered the surgeon, Neil Hopper, was a double amputee.
- Neil Hopper was a celebrated vascular surgeon who claimed his legs were amputated due to sepsis, but it was later revealed he self-inflicted the injuries because of an amputation fetish.
- Hopper was convicted of fraud for making false health insurance claims (£466,653) and for possessing extreme pornography showing men mutilating themselves.
- He was an active user of the fetish website eunuchmaker.com, paying for videos of castrations and amputations, and communicated with the site's operator about his own desires.
