Dr Martyn Mendelsohn, an ear, nose and throat specialist, is fighting not to be removed from the medical register after he admitted that he allowed his patient to perform oral sex on him in 2005.
The doctor, who appeared on TV show, told that the woman visited him to ask for medical procedure on her nose after she had a fight with her boyfriend. He explained that the patient arrived too late to perform a surgery and all the staff had left the hospital. However, he felt sorry for the woman and complied with her request.
Dr Mendelsohn said that the woman was obviously grateful that he agreed to see her, hugging him with words "You look after me, I'll look after you". "He says she then leant down and unzipped his trousers and performed oral sex on him. He says she swallowed his semen and did not spit," said the commission's lawyer Philip Strickland.
After the incident took place, the woman asked her boyfriend to take her to police, accusing the doctor of sexual assault. She told police that Dr. Mendelsohn was kissing her, touching her breasts and ejaculating in her mouth.
The doctor explained to the tribunal that he felt "devastated" after the incident. He performed surgery on her nose, but refused to continue the treatment after what happened. The woman looked disappointed and said that Dr. Mendelsohn promised to look after her.
The Health Care Complaints Commission says that the doctor faces the charges of either sexual assault in the worst case, or sexual misconduct at best.
