Doctors banned over row
TWO hospital doctors have been ordered to stay at home after one lost a tooth in a row outside an operating theatre.
Staff had to intervene when the men, a consultant surgeon and an anaesthetist, squared up to each other at Manchester Royal Infirmary.
A formal investigation is being carried out.
The bust-up, between surgeon Mr Jarrod Homer and anaesthetist Dr Kamran Abbas, happened earlier this month.
The doctors apparently fell out in a row over the times patients were being brought to the operating theatre.
But what started out as a relatively minor spat allegedly spiralled out of control, forcing another member of staff to intervene.
Out of control
The nurse who tried to split them up appears to have accidentally knocked out the tooth. It is not known which doctor now has a gap.
There was no answer yesterday at Dr Abbas’s £550,000 townhouse in Didsbury, Manchester, while Mr Homer was not at his £700,000 home in Cheshire.
Central Manchester University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust said an internal investigation was under way.
