A locum doctor at Noble’s Hospital is under investigation for allegedly sending explicit pictures of himself while at work.
Dr Leendert Verstraten, 55, a surgeon who specialises in knee and hip operations and is based at Liverpool’s Aintree Hospital, is accused of sending an online dominatrix photographs of himself in surgical garb wearing a bondage torture device and with messages scrawled across his bare chest.
The woman who was sent the photographs told a UK tabloid newspaper: ‘The hygiene implications are beyond my imagination.’
A spokesman for the Department of Health and Social Care said: ‘Noble’s Hospital does not comment on employment matters however the hospital does take any complaint of potential misconduct very seriously and investigates such matters in accordance with its procedures.’
