“All medical staff were completely shocked and distressed by the allegations and were very hurt that a trusted colleague could have allegedly been responsible for such a breach of trust and ethics,” the source told the Mirror.

The London Clinic did not comment on the allegations, but told the Mirror: “We firmly believe that all our patients, regardless of their condition, deserve complete privacy and confidentiality regarding their medical information.”
