 SHOKOUHI: DOCTOR WHO SAID 'CLIT' IS GUILTY OF UNPROFESSIONAL CONDUCTHOVE
A GP who used an offensive term to describe a woman's private parts during a consultation about her bikini line was found guilty of 'unacceptable and unprofessional' conduct today (weds).
Dr Babak Shokouhi, 45, had been accused of inappropriate behaviour towards a female patient in relation to a laser hair removal treatment at the Sussex Medical Chambers in Hove, in September 2011.
He was cleared of the more serious charges of touching the woman's genitals for his sexual gratification.
But the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service panel found he over-stepped the boundaries when he referred to the patient's 'clit' and said: 'I don't understand why you don't have a boyfriend because you're beautiful.'
