London - from Sep 19, 2005: An NRI doctor, who fitted the porn actress Cathy Barry www.adultfyi.com/read.aspx?ID=13804 with record-breaking breast implants, is facing investigation into his conduct on the ground that he is not a qualified specialist plastic surgeon, media reported in London on Sunday.
Shiva Singh carried out the operation for live television on Channel Five. According to a report in The Sunday Times, the London Bridge hospital, where Singh works, is to call him before its committee responsible for ethics. The General Medical Council (GMC) is also studying the television programme and may take action.
According to the report, Singh maintains that he is qualified to carry out the procedure and acted responsibly. He accuses his critics of trying to preserve a 'monopoly'.
Barry's operation took three times as long as a regular breast augmentation because Singh needed three attempts to insert the implants, into her breasts, the report claimed.
She revealed her new bust last Saturday on Cosmetic Surgery Live, which has been shown every night for the past two weeks on Channel Five. Branding the operation as unethical, Dr Richard Nicholson, editor of the 'Bulletin of Medical Ethics', said: "There are some uses of medical skills that are unethical and I would say this is one of them."
