Doctor Had S3x With Nurse Halfway Through Surgery While Patient Was Sedated

A married doctor in anaesthesia has confessed to departing from a patient who was sedated during an operation in order to engage in sexual intercourse with a nurse inside a separate surgical room, according to testimony presented at a professional medical panel.

Dr Suhail Anjum, aged 44, was employed at Tameside Hospital located in Ashton-under-Lyne, within the Greater Manchester region of the United Kingdom, at the time he was found in a “compromising position” alongside an unidentified nurse by a fellow staff member back in September 2013. The proceedings revealed that Dr Anjum had requested a different nurse to oversee the patient’s condition during what he described as a brief intermission, yet he proceeded instead to an adjacent operating room where he participated in sexual conduct with the nurse, referred to solely as Nurse C.

A coworker, designated as Nurse NT, informed the General Medical Council (GMC) that she was utterly stunned upon discovering Nurse C with her trousers lowered while Dr Anjum was in the process of fastening his own. The individual under anaesthesia maintained a steady condition for the duration of the procedure, resulting in no adverse effects. Nevertheless, Dr Anjum had been away from the operating area for approximately eight minutes prior to his reappearance.

The episode was subsequently brought to the attention of the hospital’s administrative team. Andrew Molloy, acting on behalf of the GMC, stated that Dr Anjum refrained from contesting the circumstances and acknowledged that his conduct potentially endangered the patient’s well-being. Following this, he departed from Tameside Hospital and relocated to Pakistan, though he expressed to the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service (MPTS) his aspiration to recommence his professional activities within the UK.

Presenting himself before the adjudicating body in Manchester, Dr Anjum characterized the occurrence as “quite shameful” and assumed complete accountability. “I let down everybody, not just my patient and myself but the trust and how it would look. I let down my colleagues who gave me a lot of respect,” he said. “If my doctor had gone away without telling me… this breaks me to pieces every day when I think about it.”

Furthermore, he expressed a desire to undo his decisions, labeling it a “one-off error of judgment,” and extended apologies to all those impacted. He attributed the event to a challenging phase in his private circumstances, stemming from the distressing early delivery of his infant child earlier that same year, an ordeal which had profoundly affected his marital relationship, psychological state, and occupational performance.

The adjudication process is scheduled to resume on Friday, September 12, at which point the adjudicators are anticipated to evaluate whether Dr Anjum’s suitability to practice medicine was compromised due to the alleged impropriety.

A Gentle Reminder: Every obstacle is a stepping stone, every morning; a chance to go again, and those little steps take you closer to your dream.
