James Lockyear demonstrated unprofessional, juvenile, inappropriate, disgusting and offensive behaviour, a disciplinary panel found. Not only did he put the testicle from a castrated dog in his mouth but he also put a medical tube up his nose and showed a nurse a photo of his erect penis on his mobile phone while working at a surgery in Essex.
