Surgeon May Practice Again After Initialing Organs

An infamous surgeon in Britain can practice again despite his assault conviction for initialing a patient's organs. In 2017, Simon Bramhall paid a fine and performed community service after it was discovered that he used a surgical laser to put his initials on the livers of two patients while operating. His license was also suspended. However, earlier this month, The Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service ruled in a private hearing that Bramhall's ability to perform surgery wasn't impaired despite his disturbing actions. This decision means that he could potentially become a working surgeon again.
