A British doctor has been suspended for allegedly branding his initials on a patient's liver.
The surgeon worked at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham, located in central England, the BBC reported Tuesday.
The doctor's initials were reportedly found by a colleague during another operation.
The doctor has been identified in British media reports as 48-year-old Simon Bramhall. His website says Bramhall has been a consultant surgeon at the hospital since 2002.
"I am hoping this is just a mistake, I don't know what would possess someone to do that to another human being," an inside source told the Telegraph newspaper.
Experts told the newspaper the branding may have been done using a beam of argon gas, which would leave a superficial burn and would not be harmful to the organ.

What kind of narcissists have the British become?

What kind of narcissists have the British become?

After all these years of Blackhead's posts, you need to ask?

I was hoping it was just him and not so pervasive throughout the nation.

Pride in craftmanship.

There are some good Brits out there! There is a Member here that is actually a pretty good guy (and British).

I know there are, my mother in law is British and she's a sweetheart.

She's one of those tart candies found wrapped together with several others?

Lol. No. She's a lovely person.

I'm sure she is. Of course, if we find out that one of your organs have been branded we may have to change that assessment.

Rather doubtful, lol. She rarely comes at me with sharp instruments.

As fun as it is to tease BL about Brits and their insane egos, I recall a story about an American doctor who carved his initials in a woman's uterus.

Unlike me, where all you have to worry about is my sharp wit.

Geez! I hope he ended up in jail for that!

I'm not sure, I just remember when it hit the media.
