A foreign doctor attacked a female patient in his surgery when she disagreed with his diagnosis.

The doctor from Nigeria denied assault when he appeared in court but was found guilty after a two-day trial.
Dr Abiodun Olumuyiwa Bale, 42, denied being a 'thug' at the hearing
He was given a six-month conditional discharge but will face a disciplinary hearing at work and could lose his job.
Bale, who qualified as a doctor at the University of Lagos in 1995, worked as a gynaecologist in his home country before coming to Britain and registering with the General Medical Council in 2006.
He was given a licence to practise here in November 2009 and was on a placement, for speciality GP training, at Hyndburn Medical Practice in Accrington, Lancashire, when the assault happened on March 26.
