Urologist reprimanded after leaving trainee to operate unsupervised
He was accused of driving off to operate on his private patients at another hospital
A urologist has been reprimanded after leaving a public hospital trainee to perform surgery unsupervised as he drove off to operate on his private patients at another hospital.
In a decision published last Tuesday, the NSW Medical Professional Standards Committee said the surgeon had also pre-signed count sheets and safety checklists for surgical patients on his list at St George Hospital in Sydney.
