A patient lost a testicle during an operation because the surgeon cut it off by mistake, a General Medical Council (GMC) hearing has been told.
Dr Sulieman Al Hourani was only supposed to cut out a cyst, but removed the whole right testicle instead.
Dr Al Hourani was a locum surgeon at Fairfield General Hospital in Bury, Greater Manchester, at the time of the surgery in September 2007.
He is accused of misconduct and also of stealing medication.
It is alleged the doctor, who is now practising in Jordan and was not present at the hearing, also injected himself with a drug meant for a patient.
Sarah Prichard, counsel for the GMC, said the mistake was made as a nurse helping the surgeon turned her back to get a stitch.
When she turned around the testicle had been removed.
Doctor dismissed
Ms Prichard said: "Literally as the nurse turned away to get a transfixion stitch, the incident occurred and the testicle was removed.
"Such was the level of concern they immediately realised it could be a serious medical incident and took steps to complete the relevant documentation."
A month later it is alleged that the doctor, who qualified after studying at Jordan University of Science and Technology, stole two boxes of dihydrocodeine from a treatment room on a ward at the same hospital.
An investigation was launched and the doctor was dismissed by his employer, Pennine Acute Hospitals NHS Trust, which ran the hospital.
The GMC was told of another incident in August 2006, when Dr Al Hourani had consulted a colleague and was advised to inject a patient with 10 milligrams (mg) of midazolam, a powerful sedative drug.

Ah, I get it.
It’s not wrong by the Koran to eat an infidels testicle.
Reading the headline, I thought the reference was to obama.
Well, the cyst is gone, right?

Under Obamacare, you’ll get both testicles removed at no extra charge.
and they toss in a free lockbox to keep them in.
I wonder how long Dr. Hourani been the surgeon for Congressional Republicans.
A stitch in time saves nine, so this situation could have been a whole lot worse.
Nuts!
Dr Al Hourani was a locum surgeon
Locum? or hokum?
Somebody dropped the ball.....
During the year I lived in London, I never once met an English doctor. And for that I am thankful, because as horrible as their health care system is, I can only imagine how much worse it would be if all the doctors were
home-grown.
Didn't we learn anything about trusting muzzies with sharp objects?
I hope he’s married ... otherwise there’s going to be an awkward conversation every time there is an amorous situation in which there is a zipper sound.
But, this guy’s gonna have some awesome nicknames and clever jokes for the rest of his life ...
