A surgeon was removed from the medical register after using a laser to mark his initials on a patient's organ.
On August 21, 2013, a woman underwent a liver transplant operation, which proved more complicated than expected.
Her surgeon, Simon Bramhall, successfully connected the new liver, but it initially failed to function properly due to a small tear on the connecting artery.
He claimed that he knew other surgeons who had also marked their initials on patients' organs.
