Gynaecologist Guilty Of Misconduct Reinstated
Track of the day I don't need no doctor.
In 2003 Dr Andrew Gbinigie, from Barnt Green in Worcestershire UK, was found guilty of serious professional misconduct by the General Medical Council (GMC) but has now been told he can stay on the medical register.
In November 2000 during an an abortion on a woman who was 20 weeks pregnant, the consultant gynaecologist and obstetrician ruptured the patient's uterus wall and removed her right ovary and fallopian tube. When he pulled out a piece of her bowel he realised something was wrong and called for help from senior staff. The woman's life was saved after three consultants at the Birmingham Women's Hospital carried out a five-hour emergency operation during which her right kidney had to be removed.
In August 2003 he was found guilty of serious professional misconduct but was told that he could continue to practise if he only worked in hospitals with intensive care facilities.
Just what is the General Medical Council playing at here and what does a doctor have to do to prove his incompetence? As far as I can see the guy constitutes a threat to the safety of unsuspecting women anywhere that he practises. The fact that he can only operate in hospitals with intensive care facilities just about says it all. This man could well be operating in a hospital near you. How do you folks feel about that?

Reinstated
A spokesperson for the General Medical Council Fitness To Practise Panel said (Jan 2006) that she couldn't release details of the hearing but confirmed that Dr Gbinigie now has full registration again and can carry out surgery, subject to the conditions outlined in 2003.Just what is the General Medical Council playing at here and what does a doctor have to do to prove his incompetence?
