He was fined £10,000 for his actions.
An ‘arrogant’ surgeon who burned his initials onto the livers of two of his patients while they were unconscious has been struck off.Crown Court in December 2017 after using an argon beam machine to brand two of his patients.The 57-year-old was given a community order and fined £10,000 a month after confessing.
In its determination, the tribunal found: ‘The Tribunal, having concluded that a suspension order would be insufficient to protect the wider public interest, determined that the appropriate and proportionate sanction is erasure. ‘Mr Bramhall abused his position of trust and during the short period it took for him to mark his initials he placed his own interests above the interests of his patients.’
Bramhall, from Tarrington in Herefordshire, told police he branded the organs to relieve tension in the operating theatre after difficult and long transplant operations in 2013.
