British Doctor Looses Tooth In OR Brawl

[Initech]

Consultant surgeon Jarrod Homer and consultant anaesthetist Kamran Abbas were seen "squaring up" to each other in a corridor at Manchester Royal Infirmary, according to the Manchester Evening News.

A nurse intervened in a bid to split them up - but ended up accidentally knocking out one of the doctor's teeth.

It is understood Dr Abbas, from Didsbury, and Mr Homer, from Mobberley in Cheshire, have been asked to stay at home while hospital chiefs investigate the incident.

A spokeswoman for Central Manchester University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, which manages the MRI, said: "This incident is the subject of an internal investigation and we are unable to comment further while this is under way."

1. I had heard, a few months ago, of a similar case here

A neurosurgeon summarily fired, by a major teaching hospital, for fits of temper and tool throwing in the OR. I heard about it from someone who was at the builder's meeting for his new house, when he showed up in tears after being sacked.
