DOC IN MICHAEL SLUR IS BANNED

- ■ by JOHN SIDDLE

AN NHS surgeon has been struck off after telling patients to “assume the George Michael position” for intimate check-ups.

Serban Ioan Gheorghiu, 60, referred to the late singer’s homosexual­ity before patients got on all fours for rectal examinatio­ns.

The Romanian, who worked at Scarboroug­h Hospital, North Yorks, was struck off over his serious misconduct.

He referred to the singer “at least 15 to 20 times”, the Medical Practition­ers Tribunal Service heard.

A nurse said he would “regularly ask patients to adopt the George Michael position in preparatio­n for endoscopie­s”.
