Doctor loses tooth in brawl with colleague outside hospital operating theatre
Consultant surgeon Jarrod Homer and consultant anaesthetist Kamran Abbas 'squared-up' to each other in a corridor
A blazing row between two top medics in a hospital corridor led to one losing a tooth and both being banned from work.
Consultant surgeon Jarrod Homer and consultant anaesthetist Kamran Abbas were seen “squaring up” to each other.
The initial dispute was reported to be over patients not being brought to the operating theatre at the right times.
A huge argument developed and the men went toe to toe.
A nurse who tried to separate them accidentally knocked out one consultant’s tooth.
It has not been disclosed which doctor was injured or whether the nurse was male.
Dr Abbas and Mr Homer have been asked to stay at home while bosses at Manchester Royal Infirmary investigate the incident, it is understood.
A spokeswoman for Central Manchester University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, which manages the MRI, said: “This incident is the subject of an internal investigation and we are unable to comment further while this is under way.”
Dr Abbas gives lectures to the Society for Obesity and Bariatric Anaesthesia in London and Manchester.
Three weeks after the incident he declined to comment when contacted at his home in Didsbury, Manchester.
Mr Homer, from Cheshire, has been a consultant ear, nose and throat surgeon at MRI since 2002.
He is also honorary laryngologist to the Royal Northern College of Music.
He could not be reached for a comment today.
