Those imprinted initials were found by another doctor roughly one week after one of the transplant surgeries whenthe liver failed. youtu.beIn December of 2020, the Medical Practitioner's Tribunal Service suspended him from medical practice for five months, but following a review hearing on June 4, 2021, the suspension order was revoked. A high court judge, however, rejected the second ruling sending Bramhall's case back to the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service, and effectively ending the surgeon's days in the operating room.
