guardian-series.co.uk on February 09, 2012 reported that a doctor who was suspended following the deaths of two patients has been told he can return to work. Dr Gideon Lauffer was suspended after a man died following a hernia surgery at King George Hospital in Redbridge in 2007. One patient died after Mr Lauffer perforated his bowel during a routine gall bladder operation, while another patient lost a testicle after the surgeon botched the operation. Dr Lauffer was also found to have assisted in a bowel operation at Spire Roding Hospital in Redbridge in March 2008, while he was banned from doing so.
