A DOCTOR has been suspended over allegations he drinks on the job and left a woman giving birth to have sex with another patient.

Dr Christopher Driskill was suspended by the New Mexico Medical Board over the alleged instances of misconduct.

The board has already found that the doctor kept a personal stash of alcohol hidden in his office.

It is also alleged that he prescribed drugs to a sexual partner, was drunk at work and wrote lewd notes on medical charts.

He was due to become president of the New Mexico Medical Society next year.

He can legally challenge his suspension at any point – but has so far chosen not to.
