>Hospital scans revealed a fracture to the victim’s eye socket and in a statement he told the court he had been left with long-term pain and vision problems.
Honestly the doctor in question should be struck off.

This is an excerpt from an article from 2024 which has more details on the incident:
[*Newcastle Crown Court*](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/crown-court) *heard the waiter suffered a “huge amount of pain” and has been left with a visible dent to his forehead, which is too risky to operate on.*
He would have punched the waiter, but he was sworn to do no arm.

Being a doctor in this country must be the easiest job in the world considering how hard it is to get struck off. It seems like anything short of murdering someone is allowed.
>The court heard the doctor, of Bowburn, County Durham, has a previous conviction for common assault in 2001 and was cautioned for criminal damage in 2007.

Wow speaking as a doctor I’m amazed this guy didn’t get struck off permanently. Sounds like a violent drunk who has no place seeing patients imo.
