(AI Image) A 44-year-old consultant anaesthetist left a patient under anaesthesia during surgery to engage in sexual activity with a nurse in another operating theatre.The incident occurred at Tameside Hospital, Greater Manchester, on 16 September 2023. The consultant has been identified as Dr Suhail Anjum.The incident was witnessed by a colleague, Nurse NT, who reported seeing Anjum and the nurse, referred to as Nurse C, in a compromising position.According to BBC, the consultant anaesthetist had said he needed a &#8220;comfort break&#8221; and asked another nursing colleague to monitor the male patient halfway through the procedure.Instead, Anjum went to another operating theatre at the hospital in Ashton-under-Lyne where he had sexual activity with a woman referred to in the hearing as Nurse C.According to a report in Daily Mail, Anjum, who now works in Pakistan, said, &#8220;he felt shame and guilt at this horribly embarrassing incident, I don&#8217;t know why it happened. I don&#8217;t know what I was thinking.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A 44-year-old consultant anaesthetist left a patient under anaesthesia during surgery to engage in sexual activity with a&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":139785,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[95591,64,63,137,500],"class_list":{"0":"post-139784","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-healthcare","8":"tag-comfort-break-uk-doctor-abandons-patient-mid-surgery-to-have-sexual-activity-with-nurse-now-works-in-pakistan","9":"tag-au","10":"tag-australia","11":"tag-health","12":"tag-healthcare"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/139784","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=139784"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/139784\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/139785"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=139784"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=139784"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=139784"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
