'It is after 6 o'clock': Indian-origin doctor in UK suspended for using forceps to deliver baby
Indian-origin gynecologist in UK, Dr Premila Thampi, has been accused of forcing the use of forceps to deliver a baby.

Dr Premila Thampi, a 62-year-old consultant gynaecologist, was suspended after she was accused of bullying a mother into agreeing to the use of dorceps as she was giving birth to her first child at an NHS maternity unit, Daily Mail reported. The incident took place in 2016 at Milton Keynes University Hospital. At the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service in Manchester, which heard both parties, Dr Thampi was found guilty of serious professional misconduct and was ordered to be suspended from practise for three weeks.The patient said she pleaded to have a caesarean section as she was unable to push the baby naturally but Dr Thampi refused and said she was a consultant and it was already 6 and she could have gone home. “What you need to understand and appreciate is that I am a Consultant, and it is after six o’clock and I could have gone home and left one of my Registrars to deliver this baby!” she said and then forced the patient to let her use forceps. “You need to let me do this as I don’t know what is going to happen to your baby. You are putting your own baby at risk,” Dr Thampi told the woman. The woman agreed unwillingly and screamed at Dr Thampi and later said the use of the forceps caused damage to her baby’s face and head. The patient said she was very clear that she did not want forceps to be used and wanted to have a C-section but she felt intimidated by Dr Thampi who at the time of the procedure appeared very angry and on a warpath. Dr Thampi said she discussed the option of the forceps delivery with the patient and while she expressed concern, she (the patient) did not refuse it. Dr Thampi apologized for the trauma that the experience caused to the new mother but denied making the comment that it was “after six o’clock”. Dr Thampi maintained that she could not have said that as she was contractually obliged to be at work till 7 PM>
