Pratap Dutta, a consultant surgeon working at hospitals across Greater Manchester, was on call the weekend of June 11, and had to rush into the MRI to treat a car crash victim at around 10.20am.
He arrived at the 'very quiet' car park and left his car on level zero, before heading to carry out surgery on the patient at the hospital.
"I was covering the major trauma surgery patients, such as crash patients, for all the hospitals within Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust that morning" Mr Dutta told the M.E.N.
"It has been ridiculously busy the last few weeks, there has been a huge backlog of cases in many areas. It takes a toll on you. There was a road traffic collision and the patient needed life-saving surgery, so I was called in early that morning.
