A randy gynaecologist who abandoned a pregnant woman in labour to go and have sex with a patient, has been suspended indefinitely. Dr Christopher Driskill, apart from the misdemeanour charges, is also facing a litany of allegations along including being drunk while at work, falsely prescribing drugs to a sexual partner, and writing lewd notes on medical charts.
According to Metro UK, several other women who intended to give birth at his clinic claimed they found him absent as they went into labour, forcing hospital staff to scrape together nurses in emergency situations.
Based in New Mexico in the USA, Dr Driskill, 42, was due to become the president of the New Mexico Medical Society next year, before the state’s medical board was informed of his behaviour.
Going by the decision of the medical board, the wayward doctor, who is also accused of keeping a personal stash of alcohol in his desk at work, posed a ‘clear and immediate danger to the public’, can never lead the body as his antecedents are not worthy.
The board is even contemplating taking his licence in addition to his punishment.
