GP registrar pressured grieving widow to cry on video to prove his empathy: UK tribunal

Dr Christopher Ogbonna said he was 'deeply stressed' about potentially failing to qualify as a GP.

A trainee GP who pressured a recently bereaved widow to cry so he could display his empathy skills for an assessment video has been suspended for three months.

The patient had originally been booked into see a different GP at the practice, the UK Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service heard.
