A UK anesthetist is facing a tribunal after he admitted to abandoning a patient mid-surgery to engage in a sexual act with a nurse.
The doctor, who has not been identified, confessed that his behavior was “shameful” and a serious breach of professional conduct. The incident, which reportedly took place in an operating theatre, has triggered a full investigation by the medical board.
The tribunal is currently reviewing the case to determine appropriate disciplinary action, which could include the suspension or permanent revocation of his medical license. The hospital where the incident occurred has also launched an internal review to address a major lapse in safety protocols and professional oversight.
