Dr Kwame Somuah-Boateng, a married senior doctor is said to have romped with his patient to "help" her multiple sclerosis after repeatedly promising her "having s*x is good for you", a medical tribunal heard.
According to Daily Star UK, Dr Kwame Somuah-Boateng, 43, allegedly told the woman that intercourse would help "regain the feelings in her vagina" - before having s*x with her in the hospital sleeping quarters.
He told her: "Trust me I'm a doctor - it will help you to get your sensitivity back.''
Dr Somuah-Boateng cheated on his wife, the mother of their two children, with the patient who he brought to a christening and vowed to marry, the hearing heard.
Their six-month fling came to an end when the woman - known as Patient A - discovered she might be pregnant.
He warned her his wife would "kill" the baby, the hearing heard, and when she thought she had miscarried he tried to have s*x with her again.
Patient A told the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service: "If I had known that what was happening to me was something dreadful, that something dreadful had happened to me I would have had the police at my door.
"He told me s*x was good for my condition numerous times.
"Initially I thought that it was going to help me get my feelings back, I just wanted to be normal again.
"He was telling me he was going to help me, I thought he was the only one who could help me, the only one I could talk to about the condition because he was telling me he understood it."
The couple began the affair in July 2012 after Patient A was admitted to the A&E at Croydon University Hospital in South London.
They met when Somuah-Boateng, a urologist, escorted her to an MRI scan when she discovered she had MS and he began comforting her.
He called her a few days later when he asked if she had a boyfriend and invited her to a christening, Patient A told the hearing.
Talking about another occasion, she said: "He came over and asked me how I was and he was massaging my feet and my legs telling me I needed to stimulate them.
"Then he moved my legs apart and started giving me oral sex, telling me that it would stimulate the muscles down there and help get the sensation back.
"I was uncomfortable and I told him to stop and he didn't at first and when I told him to again he did."
The patient said she began to feel dependant on him, as he told her "I love you, I want to marry you, I want to have children with you".
The next time she saw him after telling him about her miscarriage, she claims she found him naked in bed waiting for her - despite telling him she didn't want to have s*x with him.
Somuah-Boetang of Mitcham, Surrey, denies he initiated contact with Patient A, insisting that she contacted him and asked him for the s*xual contact.
He also denies separate charges of supplying her with any prescription medication, only paracetamol.
In 2015 at Croydon Crown Court he stood trial for attempted rape and assault by penetration but was cleared by a jury.
The tribunal continues.
