A
United States gynaecologist,
Dr. Christopher Driskill, is facing the sack after he allegedly
left a woman in labour unattended to while having sex with another patient in
New Mexico. The
doctor has been accused of abandoning a pregnant patient in labour to have sex
with another patient.
The
42-year-old Christopher Driskill who has already been suspended, has been
accused of being drunk at work and sleeping with numerous patients and
colleagues and now the New
Mexico Medical Board is considering revoking his license. The
board additionally found him to be drinking during work hours and when he was
on call. It has also been discovered that Driskill has a “personal cache” of
alcohol in his office at the Lea
Regional Medical Center.
A
suspension notice reads that he admitted several pregnant patients in labour to
the Lea Regional Medical Center, but was not present for their deliveries as he
was busy having “sexual relations with another patient,” the Albuquerque Journal
reports.
Driskill
faces 11 charges of misconduct just five months before he was supposed to
become the president of the New Mexico Medical Society.
