A family GP who kept his job despite being on the Sex Offender Register for groping a receptionist has been struck off after leaving a female patient in tears over an 'inappropriate' medical examination.
Dr Sanjay Chatterjee, 60, had previously walked free from court and escaped with a nine-month suspension from work after he twice grabbed a receptionist by the bottom and later attempted to kiss her in three separate encounters.
But he was reported to police and the General Medical Council again after he inserted a medical implement inside a woman's vagina without her consent while examining her for suspected haemorrhoids. She was left in shock and burst into tears as she told her family about the consultation and subsequently called police to claim she had been sexually assaulted.
"Patient A was left confused and feeling violated. She contacted friends and family in a distressed state," said Ms Jade Bucklow of the GMC.
Inquiries revealed married father-of-two Chatterjee had ignored police restrictions on his movements under the terms of the Sex Offender Register by repeatedly flying abroad using a new passport.
At the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service, Chatterjee who lives in Larkfield near Aylesford, Kent, was ordered to have his name erased from the doctor's register after he was found guilty of serious professional misconduct. A panel said his examination of the patient was 'inappropriate and not clinically indicated', but cleared him of sexually motivated conduct. No criminal action was taken against him over the examination.
"There were no expressions of regret or apology," noted MPTS chairman Mr Graham White regarding Dr Chatterjee's actions.
Chatterjee was initially reported to police in 2010 and charged with sexual assault after complaints were made by two women including a receptionist at a clinic in Medway. He faced trial at Maidstone Crown Court where he was convicted of sexually assaulting one woman but cleared of charges involving another woman whom he claimed to be having an affair with.
"He started to talk about her jewellery, and grabbed her shoulders in an attempt to kiss her," recounted one incident involving Dr Chatterjee's inappropriate behavior towards his colleague.
The latest allegation against Dr Chatterjee occurred at Aylesford Medical Centre in May 2021 when Ms A came for treatment related to ulcerative colitis. The student nurse present during this appointment remarked on poor communication skills exhibited by Dr Chatterjee during examinations which led Ms A feeling uncomfortable throughout their interactions together due largely because there wasn’t enough explanation given beforehand regarding procedures performed upon herself that day without prior warning whatsoever leading ultimately towards confusion distress experienced afterwards once everything unfolded fully later down line back home among loved ones nearby offering support through trying times ahead still yet come
