British physician suspended after searching for pornography on hospital computers
Healthcare Security Weekly, July 7, 2008
A physician, allegedly addicted to hardcore pornography, was suspended for nine months after he viewed graphic sexual images on hospital computers, reported the Yorkshire Post.
James Christopher Angel, MD, was an anesthetist at Scarborough Hospital in Great Britain when he looked at explicit sex Web sites on departmental computers, the GMC Fitness to Practice Panel in Manchester, England was told.
Angel was caught in July 2006 by routine monitoring of the hospital trust's computers and confessed to the behavior, the Post reported. Two years earlier while working as an anesthetist at Wrexham Maelor Hospital, he was acquitted of possessing child pornography, the newspaper said.
