Witnesses say they saw a drink driving Nottingham doctor force another vehicle to take evasive action while he was behind the wheel. That's according to a document from the Medical Practitioners' Tribunal Service (MPTS), which determines a medical professional's fitness to practice based on allegations of misconduct.
Dr Goel originally claimed to the General Medical Council (GMC, an online list of doctors registered to practice in the UK) he was chewing a betel nut and was not already drunk when buying spirits from a shop. But at Nottingham Magistrates' Court on January 3 2020, after pleading guilty to a charge of drink driving, he was banned from driving for three years.
Dr Goel, of Derwent Close, Gamston at the time of the sentencing, was found to be three times over the drink limit. He admitted to driving with 99 micrograms of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath, 64 over the limit, and was also ordered to do 120 hours of community work.
