Doctor dances while performing surgery on ‘unconscious patient’
Shocking video show doctor dances while performing surgery on ‘unconscious patient’
Outrage after surgeon and nurse film themselves dancing to pop music in the MIDDLE of an operation
A video of a plastic surgeon and an assistant nurse dancing while in the middle of surgery has caused outrage online.
The film shows the plastic surgeon and his surgical scrub nurse in the middle of performing surgery at a clinic in the city of Medellin in Colombia.
They are listening to pop music and suddenly put down their tools and instruments before they start dancing and laughing.
After dancing for several seconds, they suddenly continue with the surgery as if nothing has happened.
Bernardo Alejandro Guerra, a Medellin councillor, said he was shocked when he saw the film.
He said the footage had come to his attention and he had reported the incident to local media.
Mr Guerra said: ‘This is a lack of ethics and respect for the patient and the profession.
‘The amazing thing is that the anaesthesiologist does not appear in the video. He is the one responsible for the sleeping of the patient and he allows them to dance in the room, without respecting the protocol.’
He asked the authorities to take action and punish the surgeon.
Mr Guerra said a whistleblower had leaked the video to him because he was unhappy with the surgeon’s actions.
Carmen Calderon said she recognised the surgeon as the man who operated on her two years ago and claimed he had botched her operation.
After seeing the dancing footage, Ms Calderon said: ‘He should pay for what he has done, as it is an abuse’.
Medellin is still best known as the home of the Colombian drugs baron Pablo Escobar – currently being dramatised in the Netflix TV series Narcos – who was killed in 1993.
