42-year-old United States gynaecologist, Dr. Christopher Driskill, is facing the sack after he allegedly left a woman in labour unattended to while having sex with another patient in New Mexico.
Dr. Driskill who has already been suspended, has been accused of being drunk at work and sleeping with numerous patients and colleagues and now the New Mexico Medical Board is considering revoking his license.
The board additionally found him to be drinking during work hours and when he was on call. It has also been discovered that Dr. Driskill has a “personal cache” of alcohol in his office at the Lea Regional Medical Center.
A suspension notice reads that he admitted several pregnant patients in labour to the Lea Regional Medical Center, but was not present for their deliveries as he was busy having “sexual relations with another patient,” the Albuquerque Journal reports.
Dr. Driskill faces 11 charges of misconduct just five months before he was supposed to become the president of the New Mexico Medical Society.
