Doctor Rainford

Doctor Rainford was a doctor who conducted Misbah Maalik's misconduct hearing in November 2018. Misbah performed an operation on Tegan Lomax (who had been crushed by a tree) despite being suspended, having a broken hand and no access to adequate medical equipment. Tegan ended up dying from her injuries, with a ruptured spleen due to Misbah's surgery being a factor. Doctor Rainford offended Misbah by bringing up that Misbah had formerly suspended Tegan, and subtly suggested that she may not have made the decision impartially.
The next day, Doctor Rainford walked into an argument between Misbah and Sinead Shelby (who had applied for a job at Dee Valley University Hospital) over Tegan's death, and demanded that Misbah enter her office. After speaking to Sinead, Doctor Rainford informed Misbah that Sinead confessed to planting alcohol in Misbah's bag (despite alcohol being against Misbah's religion), but told Misbah that Sinead's actions won't do her application any favours. Doctor Rainford told Misbah that the hospital had been receiving bad publicity and demanded that Misbah went onto leave until the situation calmed down.
