A surgeon who helped himself to drugs he removed from a patient’s stomach faces up to 15 years in prison for theft and possession of illegal substances.  The 32-year-old doctor had been asked to remove containers of heroin from the stomach of a suspected drug mule in the Siberian region of Krasnoyarsk.  A spokesman for Ministry of the Interior said the doctor helped himself to capsules of the drug after removing them from the man’s stomach in a bid to save his life.  After the operation police checked the containers removed from the smuggler’s stomach and searched the doctor.  They found 5g of heroin hidden in the surgeon’s clothing.  A police spokesman said:  “The doctor was intoxicated at the time of detention.”
