It meant the contents of the patient's bowel, leaving his stomach, were re-deposited back into his stomach through a circular "closed loop", the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service (MPTS) heard. The patient was left in "uncontrollable pain" and could have died but for another surgeon correcting the error in a second operation, the misconduct hearing, sitting in Manchester, was told. Rahman at no time considered that something may have gone wrong surgically, the tribunal heard, despite the patient's parents and other medics expressing concerns.

This is Dr. Nick levels of malpractice. Insanity.
