A radiographer has admitted professional misconduct in respect of one of three female X-ray patients over whose complaints he was charged.
The Auckland health worker, whose name was suppressed by the Health Practitioners Disciplinary Tribunal, admitted he acted inappropriately by offering to deliver a woman's X-rays "over a drink".
However, he denied behaving unprofessionally with two other women.
One of those women said he opened her gown in February last year during an X-ray session, and looked directly at her hip and underwear area.
But the radiographer said: "I do not have any recollection of [her] gown opening to expose her underwear and this was not intentional if it did occur."
The second woman said he put his hands on her waist and later he said she could wear a gown for the X-ray or what he called "your T-shirt" -- in fact a see-through cami.
But the radiographer, addressing the tribunal, denied he put his hands on her waist. He touched her blouse to assess its thickness, and he told her three times she could wear the gown if she was uncomfortable.
