Nearly nine years later, the British Practitioners Tribunal Service removed Simon Bramhall from practicing medicine.
In the UK, transplant doctor Simon Bremhall used a laser to sign the livers of two of his patients during surgery. About it reported Daily Mail edition.
According to available information, this happened in 2013, when the 57-year-old surgeon worked at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham.
So, the doctor used an argon resector (a device designed to stop bleeding during liver operations) to draw his initials about four centimeters high on the organs of patients.
Bramhall’s actions were noticed by a colleague who reported what he had seen. As a result, the doctor quit the medical facility, and five years later the court fined him £10,000 for what he had done.
In 2020, the surgeon was suspended by a court decision, but five months later he won an appeal in this case. And only two days ago, on January 11, the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service (MPTS) decided to permanently remove Bremhall from the medical register and permanently forbade him from practicing medicine.
As indicated, the doctor’s actions did not harm the health of patients, but the tribunal regarded such behavior as “professional arrogance”.
“Physical abuse of two vulnerable patients who are unconscious in a clinical setting seriously undermines the trust of patients and society in the medical profession. And also inevitably brings the profession as a whole into disrepute,” the MPTS decision quoted the publication.
Recall that in Pakistan, a former hospital guard pretended to be a surgeon and performed an operation 80 year old patient to earn money. The woman died.
