A British surgeon is currently
under investigation after his suspension over allegations that he “branded” his
initials onto a patient’s liver, media reported on Tuesday.
Trouble started for the surgeon, Simon
Bramhall after a colleague discovered the initials “SB” on the internal organ
during a follow-up operation at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham, central
England, newspapers reported.
According to a statement signed by
the hospital’s managing trust: “Following an allegation of misconduct,
University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust has suspended a surgeon
while an internal investigation is completed".
The Daily Mail
newspaper said Bramhall used non-toxic argon gas to sear his initials onto the
liver.
