How do doctors deal with engraving on patients' livers?
12 14 reported that the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Britain recently exposed a scandal. A surgeon was exposed to have left his signature on the liver by branding when he performed liver transplantation for a patient several years ago, and was accused of "actual bodily harm".

The picture shows Simon signing the patient's liver as a souvenir.

According to the BBC, Simon Bramhall, a 53-year-old surgeon, has worked in Queen Elizabeth Hospital for 10 years and is a well-known local liver transplant expert. He was charged by the Crown Prosecution Service with two crimes, including "actual bodily harm".

Simon once branded his initials "SB" on the livers of two patients during surgery. Usually, doctors in transplant surgery will use non-toxic argon-helium freezing technology to stop bleeding or burn the liver surface to outline the operation area, but Simon uses argon-helium knife to "carve" the signature on the patient's liver surface. Simon's behavior was exposed because a doctor found Simon's signature on the transplanted liver when he visited the patient again and reported it to the hospital. The Royal Prosecutor's Office said that Simon's behavior was "abusing the patient's trust in him" and "attacking" the patient with illegal force. Patient rights organizations reprimanded that there were no books for autographs in patients' organs.

In the trial of 65438+February 65438+March, Simon confessed to his "signature" on the patient's liver, saying that his motive was only to keep a souvenir and did not hurt the patient, and refused to admit that he "attacked" the patient. It is understood that the case will be pronounced on 20 18 10 12.
