A doctor who kicked a patient suffering from autism in a Norfolk residential home has been struck off by the General Medical Council (GMC).
The GMC panel found Dr Robert Bartosik, 47, had kicked the male resident, in his 30s, in the rear during a row over a pair of rubber gloves in March 2007.
The doctor was said to have ignored advice from colleagues when he tried to take the gloves from the kitchen of a bungalow at the Treehaven home for people with autism spectrum disorders.
The resident, who has Asperger's syndrome, began throwing items of cutlery at Dr Bartosik, who retaliated with the kick.

More abuse of people with autism by someone who should know better.
(but being childish as I am, I'm giggling at the idea of the resident and the doctor throwing spoons at each other
