A SENIOR Birmingham doctor who has been working under special measures after he attacked two surgeons in a boozy haze, will tomorrow ask to be allowed to work normally.

During a night out at a medical conference, consultant anaesthetist Dr John Isaac blurted out “some surgeons need their heads knocking together” but then went up to two doctors, violently banging their heads together.

Both medics, who were strangers to Issac, were wounded with cuts to their head and one was sent to hospital and needed stitches.

Police were alerted by security guards and arrested the anaesthetist, from Edgbaston’s Queen Elizabeth Hospital, on suspicion of assault.

He later accepted two formal cautions for the attack, according to a General Medical Council (GMC) report.

The anaesthetist has been working under special conditions set by the GMC for the past three years after a panel found him guilty of misconduct and bringing the profession into disrepute.
