Romanian doctor who ‘struggled to put on surgical gloves’ faces professional misconduct charges

A former paediatric surgeon struggled to put on hospital gloves and was unable to write clinical notes, a Medical Council fitness-to-practise inquiry has heard.

Dr Mihai Anton from Romania was suspended just 10 days after he began work as a senior house officer at Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital in Crumlin in January last year.

Dr Anton faces 14 charges of professional misconduct and poor performance related to his brief stint at the hospital, which ran from January 14-24, 2013.
