Plastic Surgeon Struck Off for Attempted Murder

0:00In lester today, March 19th, a plastic surgeon convicted of trying to murder a fellow doctor has now been struck off the medical register. Peter Brooks, who specialized in Burns treatment, stabbed his colleague, Graham Perks, and poured petrol through his home in an attempt to set it. A blaze. This happened in the early hours of January 14, 2021, during a COVID lockdown and nodding ham sure. Brooks viked through snow to reach the house near Southwell, dressed in camouflage and carrying a crowbar, knife, matches, and fuel. He broke into the conservatory, attacked Perks, and tried to ignite the ground floor. Last June, a court sentenced him to life in prison with a minimum of 22 years for two counts of attempted murder and attempted arson. Perks, a 65-year-old retired surgeon, suffered severe wounds to his liver, intestines, and pancreas, with doctors giving him just a five percent chance of survival. He later testified at the disciplinary hearing against Brooks, who had worked at Nottingham University hospitals.

1:02Meanwhile, Brooks skipped his trial, going on a hunger strike, and representing himself after firing his lawyers. The judge called him fixated on work grudges he blamed on Perks. This week, a medical tribunal ruled Brooks' actions were incompatible with practicing medicine, citing a huge ongoing risk to the public. They said any lesser punishment would shock reasonable people. Appreciation to our sponsor for backing this episode. When you want calm, do not reach for your phone. Lay back and listen.
