A surgeon who cut off a patient's testicle by mistake has been struck off the medical register.Dr Sulieman Al Hourani was only supposed to take out a cyst but removed the whole right testicle instead.
The blunder happened as a nurse turned her back to the locum surgeon at Fairfield General Hospital in Bury, Greater Manchester, in September 2007.
Dr Al Hourani has been found guilty of misconduct by a General Medical Council (GMC) fitness to practise panel.
The surgeon was struck off in his absence after he returned to his homeland of Jordan and refused to engage in the proceedings.This article is from the BBC News website. ? British Broadcasting Corporation, The BBC is not responsible for the content of external internet sites.
