Manila: A video posted on YouTube showing a boisterous group of medical staff during the course of an operation could lead to charges against the surgeons and cost them their medical licences, officials in the Philippines said on Wednesday.
The 3-minute video of a noisy operating room shows doctors and nurses laughing, giggling and cheering.
At one point, a hand holding a cell phone camera tries to zoom in on the proceedings. As a doctor gingerly pulls out the 15-centimetre long canister from the male patient's rectum, someone shouts, "Baby out!" amid loud cheers.
The doctor then removes the canister cap and sprays the contents toward the crowd of nurses and doctors viewing the procedure.
The unidentified 39-year-old patient went under the scalpel on January 3 following a New Year drinking spree and a "one-night stand" with a male partner, said his lawyer Guiller Ceniza indicating his client would sue.
