"I spoke to a nurse and asked her if the doctor coming to see me was a nice doctor because I felt uncomfortable with the previous one. I was quite tearful and upset. "You just put your trust in a doctor, I assumed he was doing what he had to do.

Bukhari - who arrived in Britain with his college student wife in 2010 - was initially reported to police but after he was cleared of wrongdoing at a criminal he was ordered to face a misconduct tribunal by the General Medical Council.

At the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service in Manchester he was found guilty of all charges and now faces being struck off. The hearing was told the loss of his medical career would mean he now could be deported back to his native Pakistan by the Home Office. The incidents occurred in July 2013 when the woman known as Patient A had been admitted to the A&E unit at Wishaw General Hospital in Craigneuk, North Lanarkshire, Scotland. Expert witness Dr Michael Fertleman told the hearing: "I can see no reason for such a physical examination to have taken place and I am not aware of any recognised physical examination which would involve massaging the breasts in a circular manner and moving towards the nipples in a circular manner as described by Patient A." Following the allegation, Bukhari, from Inverness was suspended by the hospital but he got a job at another health trust in Scotland after wrongly saying the sexual assault allegations had been "completely resolved."
