Bush tries to appoint family planning doctor from the UK as new Surgeon General. New campaign to battle teen pregnancy "abstinence and exorcisms" coming to a public school near you.

A family planning doctor told a patient to get an exorcism during a consultation on contraception advice, a medical tribunal heard yesterday.

Dr Joyce Pratt, 44, was said to have told the young woman there was 'something moving in her stomach' and suggested she might be possessed by an evil spirit.

It was claimed the doctor gave the woman crosses and trinkets to ward off black magic and told her to visit a priest at London's Roman Catholic Westminster Cathedral.
