More lipsouction means

more work for anaesthetists!

'Christ, get her back under'
Surgery stories

· In 2001, Dr Thomas Norton, a GP with no training in cosmetic surgery or anaesthesia, was found guilty of serious professional misconduct after he left a string of patients permanently disfigured. One woman, known throughout the subsequent General Medical Council hearing as Mrs W, woke up during her £6,000 operation to hear Norton cry: "Christ, get her back under!" Another patient, known as Mr B, woke during his operation to see liquid being pumped from his stomach into two jars.

The bloody persuit of perfection.
