Right up until September 2018 when the GMC/MPTS finally imposed restrictions on him (although you may question why the trust hadn't done something sooner). One former nurse told me how in theatre Mr Madhra would 'sprinkle' powder penicillin over a wound after performing surgery. I'll allow those who are medically trained to make up their own mind about such a practice. ...
