A Nigerian doctor allegedly attacked a female patient in his surgery when she disagreed with his diagnosis, UK Daily Mail reports.
Dr
Abiodun Bale, 42, (pictured above) grabbed Sheena Cunningham as she tried to leave his
consultation room in tears after they argued over treatment for a facial
condition.
The doctor from Nigeria denied assault
when he appeared in court but was found guilty after a two-day trial. He
was given a six-month conditional discharge but will face a
disciplinary hearing at work and could lose his job.
Bale,
who qualified as a doctor at the University of Lagos in 1995, worked as
a gynaecologist in his home country before coming to Britain and
registering with the General Medical Council in 2006.
