DOCTOR WHO FONDLED BREASTS OF PATIENT IS STRUCK OFF !!!!!!!

Doctor who fondled breasts of patient who had swollen finger is struck off


By Daily Mail Reporter
13th August 2010


A doctor who committed a 'gross abuse' of authority and trust when he fondled the breasts of four patients was struck off the medical register today.

Dr Parag Bhatt, 46, was sexually motivated as he groped his victims - one of whom was aged 16 - at a practice in Rotherham, South Yorkshire, a disciplinary panel ruled.

The General Medical Council fitness to practise hearing was told it was the first time the 16-year-old had visited a doctor on her own and she had since been unable to seek medical help unaccompanied.

Another of the patients, who only consulted Dr Bhatt for a swollen finger, explained how she felt 'violated'.

The GP was found guilty of misconduct in relation to his treatment of six patients at the Rosehill Medical Centre where he worked between January 2007 and September 2007.
In all of the cases, in which he touched their breasts as part of the examinations, he was found to have failed to provide adequate explanations to the patients as to what he was doing.
The panel ruled there was no clinical reason for five of the intimate check-ups which were also inappropriate and that he failed to offer a chaperone to four of the patients.

One woman - known as Patient C - went to see Dr Bhatt with a swollen finger and complaints of palpitations.

Rather than examine her heart, Dr Bhatt unzipped her top before he put his hand into her bra and took out her left breast.
Patient D - the 16-year-old - was subjected to having him put both his hands around each of her breasts and he then shook them while breathing heavily.

He also rubbed her nipples with his fingertips. Dr Bhatt also reached unnecessarily into the bras of two other women, patients E and F.

Panel chairman Roland Doven said: 'Your actions in relation to Patients C, D, E and F were a gross abuse of your position of authority and the trust which the patients placed in you. Your actions caused harm to your patients.

'Patient C has described how she felt violated. Patient D, who was 16 years old, has stated that her consultation with you in July 2007 was the first time that she had visited a doctor on her own.

'She has been so affected by your conduct that, since then, she has not visited a doctor without someone accompanying her.

'Patient E has described how she burst into tears on arriving home after her consultation with you in August 2007 and needed to wash because she 'just felt horrible'.

She was also concerned about attending her next appointment, which was her 'post-natal six-week check-up, in case it was with you.'

'In the light of its findings in this case and the risk posed to patients, and despite your more recent positive work as a doctor, the panel considers that erasure is both an appropriate and proportionate sanction.

'The panel considers your conduct to be fundamentally incompatible with your continuing to be a registered medical practitioner.'

Dr Bhatt had been working under interim conditions for more than a year up until his erasure at the hearing in Manchester.

He was prevented from undertaking intimate examinations of female patients without a fully registered doctor or nurse present as a chaperone.

The panel noted, though, that his use of chaperones was not formally monitored in at least one practice where he had been working and that he had been undertaking home visits.

Mr Doven told Dr Bhatt: 'This concerns the panel because it considers your sexually motivated actions in the past to have been opportunistic in nature.'
