A former doctor who told a woman with an ectopic to "go home and try for another baby" has been banned from practicing for life.
Gynaecologist Ahmed Loutfi, a locum at Women's , made the potentially life-threatening error back in 2010, telling his patient she miscarried twice, despite the fact that she had an ectopic pregnancy – where an embryo begins to grow outside the womb. He lost his registry to work in 2016 following a medical practitioners .
The mum, known only as Patient A, had to have a fallopian tube removed during surgery for her ectopic pregnancy. Loutfi saw the patient twice in April and May 2010, when he wrongly diagnosed her. This was despite another telling the patient she may have had an ectopic pregnancy.
Mr Loutfi then sent the woman home despite her challenging him, and inappropriately told her "go home and try for another baby." He then refused to prescribe the woman stronger analgesie, despite the pain she was experiencing. The former doctor also worked at in , Hull and Birmingham. At the latter between 2012 and 2013, he caused a severe injury by inappropriately rotated a baby's head, which was also deemed grounds for his expulsion eight years ago.
He tried to get back to work in 2022, but the tribunal has permanently banned him from practicing. In his latest restoration hearing, he wrote a statement claiming to have treated the Liverpool mum correctly. The tribunal heard how Loutfi placed responsibility for endangering the lives of patients on "native British doctors" and viewed the 2016 determination as unfair and an act of discrimination, as he was from overseas. Mr Loutfi believes he should be allowed back on the Medical Register as he feels he did not commit any clinical misconduct, and kept his skills up to date.
He also claimed his behaviour was of a high standard and said he had evidence to prove he was honest "all of the time" over the course of the 30 years he practiced as a doctor. Mr Loutfi added that by not restoring him to the Medical Register, the General Medical Council was endangering the lives of UK residents. Tribunal members rejected his application and indefinitely suspended Dr Loutfi's right to reapply for restoration.
