A married UK-based Ghanaian doctor has found himself in trouble for convincing a patient to have sex with him by saying “it would help relieve her multiple sclerosis”, a tribunal heard.
Dr Kwame Somuah-Boateng, 43, is reported by MailOnline to have “told the woman intercourse would stimulate the muscles in her legs”, saying: ‘Trust me, I’m a doctor.’
The website adds that ‘the doctor and his patient, who was in her 30s, would meet for sex in his hospital sleeping quarters,” the Medical Practitioners Tribunal was told.
During the affair which lasted for six months, Dr Kwame Somuah-Boateng who was married vowed to marry her and have a son with her, even though he already had a wife and daughters in Ghana.
Somuah-Boateng is accused of claiming that intercourse would ‘help her pelvic floor muscles because they were weak’. He said it would help her ‘to feel normal, feel like a woman’, the tribunal heard.
The affair only came to an end when the patient discovered she might be pregnant–following which the doctor is said to her his “wife would kill the baby.”
