British Surgeon Suspended For Branding Initials On Patient's Liver by Abagworo(m): 6:58pm On Dec 24, 2013
LONDON (AFP) – A British surgeon has been suspended over allegations that he “branded” his initials onto a patient’s liver, media reported on Tuesday.
Simon Bramhall faces an investigation after a colleague discovered the initials “SB” on the organ during a follow-up operation at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham, central England, newspapers said.
The hospital’s managing trust said in a statement: “Following an allegation of misconduct, University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust has suspended a surgeon while an internal investigation is completed.”
The Daily Mail newspaper said Bramhall used non-toxic argon gas to sear his initials onto the liver.

But how did the patient know ? He was asleep while under the knife, unless he has photographic proof of the initials, like a CT scan or sonogram..it never happened.
