Dr. Suhail Anjum, 44, and the unidentified nurse were caught in a "compromising position" by a col- league at Tameside Hospital in Manchester in September 2023.
Anjum had said
he needed to take a "comfort break" and asked another colleague to moni- tor the patient halfway through the operation.
The patient was undergoing gall
bladder removal surgery, according to India Today.
Another nurse went to look for equipment to pre- pare for the next procedure when she discovered Anjum and the unidentified nurse.
After being gone for eight minutes, Anjum returned to the operating room and com- pleted his work.
Anjum didn't deny the accusations and evidence brought against him.
He said that, though his behav- ior was inexcus- able, he and his wife had been having issues since their daugh- ter was born pre- maturely and was going through a "stressful time."
The hearing was set to continue on Friday and the panel will hear testimony on whether Anjum is fit to continue practicing medi- cine, the Independent reported.
