Dr Raisah Sawati was stripped of her medical licence after she was found snoozing on a bench while patients waited to be seen - but she has been given it back after a court ruled the punishment was unfair
A Scots doctor who was struck off for going AWOL from a busy A&E ward to go for a nap has been handed her licence back after a court ruled her punishment was too unfair. Dr Raisah Sawati was found sleeping on the job when there were patients who needed to be seen.
It was heard the High Court quashed the decision as the original tribunal unfairly held Dr Sawati's maintaining of innocence against her. Dr Sawati, said to be from Glasgow, was originally found guilty of misconduct, dishonesty and deficient professional performance. Top news stories today At Alexandra Practice in Manchester, Lancashire, in January 2014, it was heard she failed to discuss symptoms with a patient who later died, and then amended medical records to claim she did discuss them. And while working at Manchester Royal Infirmary in January 2015 she was found lying on a bed with lights off after asking to leave a main theatre block.
"Where a doctor unsuccessfully defends a dishonesty allegation, they are at risk of being found for that reason not to have told the Tribunal 'the truth' and therefore to be compounding the dishonesty - a predicament labelled before now as 'Kafkaesque'.
