SECURITY GUARD POSES AS DOCTOR, PERFORMS SURGERY

A Pakistani woman died after an ex-security guard at the hospital posed as a doctor and performed surgery on her. The 80-year-old woman died on Sunday, two weeks after Muhammad Waheed Butt attempted to treat her back wound at a public hospital in the eastern city of Lahore. It was not clear what type of surgery the imposter had performed in the operating room, but the family paid him for the operation, and for two further home visits to dress her wound. But when the bleeding and pain worsened, her family returned her to the hospital, where they discovered what had happened. The hospital found Mr. Butt, a former security guard at the hospital, had posed as a doctor and made home visits to other patients. He has been charged and is in police custody. Said an administrative official from Lahore’s Mayo Hospital, who did not want to be named, “We can’t keep up with what every doctor and what everyone is doing at all times. It’s a large hospital.”
* “By the way,” he added, “Our country has nuclear weapons.”
* Well this place definitely needs a new security guard.
* “I’m not a doctor, but I play one in a hospital.”
* They should have known he was a fake doctor the minute he made a house call.
