An Egyptian-born surgeon who harassed two of his female colleagues for dates tried to blame his behaviour on Britain’s “open culture” of socialising.
Dr Hosam Halim, 48, who worked at the Royal Free Hospital London and then at Ipswich Hospital in Suffolk, was investigated by the General Medical Council after the incidents.
At a tribunal hearing, Halim claimed he had felt isolated and lonely after seeing his colleagues drinking in wine bars.
