Drunk surgeon naked on letterbox

on the web…… 

The children’s doctor was sitting naked on an eastern suburbs letterbox masturbating, when the two women spotted him.

They called police, who found him fully dressed at a bus station on Carr Street, Coogee, reeking of alcohol, dazed and confused early on a Saturday morning.

Sanjay Warrier, 28, had been on a drunken night out with a group of doctors and returned to an address he had lived at two years before.

He said he remembers nothing of the incident.

Yesterday a magistrate believed him, agreeing with a medical report that Dr Warrier was neither a pervert, nor had a personality disorder – just had alcohol-induced delirium.

Magistrate Brian Maloney told the Downing Centre Local Court that Dr Warrier "had much to offer society" as a skilled surgeon.

"Society as a whole will benefit from being treated under the hands of Dr Sanjay Warrier," Magistrate Maloney said.

Warrier, who lost his job at the Prince of Wales Children’s Hospital when he was charged, had pleaded guilty to wilful and obscene exposure.

Two women, Megan Campbell and Amanda Apro, told police they had seen him masturbating on the letterbox while looking directly at them for about five minutes, on December 10, 2005.

The court was also told that he was naked and masturbating when the women spotted him.

But Magistrate Maloney said Warrier, of St Leonards, should not be convicted.

"He didn’t even know what he was doing. What’s society got to achieve by a convicting this man? Nothing," he said.

"Because if he is convicted there may well be some board … that takes action that’s unfavourable to him and he no longer practices medicine. He’s done nobody harm in this offence, only himself."

Warrier was previously a resident medical officer at the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital and then senior surgical resident at the Concord Hospital burns unit last year.

His former RPA colleague, Dr Kevin Ho, described him as "quietly spoken gentleman almost to the point of shyness".

Warrier no longer drinks and was very ashamed of the incident, he said.

His defence barrister, Phillip Boulten, SC, said there was a six-hour time gap that night where Warrier cannot recall anything, including withdrawing $300 from an ATM on Oxford Street.

He had drunk at least eight beers or wines at dinner before going to a nightclub in the city.

Magistrate Maloney dismissed the case.

"It’s an aberration, this offence, plain and simple. Nothing more, nothing less. He never intended to do what he did do."

"Good luck" he said to Dr Warrier.
