A senior doctor left a patient on an operating table in a middle of surgery to have sex with a nurse in an adjoining theatre, a medical tribunal heard today.
Consultant anaesthetist Suhail Anjum, 44, was discovered 'in a compromising position' with another nurse in the operating theatre at Tameside General Hospital on September 16, 2023.
Father-of-three Dr Anujm was seen tying up the cord of his trousers.
His colleague - referred to as Nurse C - was described as having her trousers around her knees with her underwear on display when the pair were surprised by another nurse.
The tribunal in Manchester was told that Dr Anjum left the patient, who was having keyhole surgery to remove a gall bladder, because he knew that Nurse C 'was likely to be nearby'.
