Pecker is a key witness in the case against the former US president, who is accused of falsifying business records to cover up hush-money payment
A British doctor, who was sacked for allegedly setting a patient on fire during a surgery, was awarded about Dh330,00 in a race and unfair dismissal claim.
Doctor Obi Iwuchukwu, who is originally from Nigeria and a breast specialist, was suspended after conducting an operation, according to a report in Mail Online.
The surgeon had used alcoholic antiseptic which ignited as he was using a heated surgical tool to sterilise the patient’s wounds during the medical procedure.
According to the report, an investigation panel found that Iwuchukwue was handed an alcohol, instead of an aqueous-based antiseptic solution which he had applied on the patient. During the surgery, he used a medical pen that generates electrically induced heat to stop wounds from bleeding. The heat ignited the alcohol and the patient suffered major burns.
The incident took place at a South Tyneside and Sunderland NHS Trust hospital in August, 2013 after which Iwuchukwu, who was sacked from his job, fought a five-year legal battle with the hospital on the basis of racial discrimination and unfair dismissal. He eventually won the case.
During investigations, a Newcastle tribunal panel heard colleagues’ concerns about Iwuchukwu's performance and the number of complications his patients suffered after surgery.
It also heard an incident in which a colleague told him 'we are not operating out of a hut in Congo' to which Iwuchukwu replied that Britain was 'not like Nazi Germany’.
The failure by the hospital to conduct a fair and proper investigation into Iwuchkwu’s case was seen by the tribunal as racial discrimination and harassment.
The compensation, however, Iwuchukwu was expecting to receive was nowhere close to the £5 million compensation he had original demanded, according to the report.
