Mexico City, Apr 20 (IANS/EFE): The Mexican social media has been buzzing with criticism of an anaesthesiologist who mocked patients by posting humiliating operating room photos on her Facebook page.

Mayte Rosas Gomez, who works for Mexico's IMSS health service at a clinic in the western state of Nayarit, used her cell phone to take the photos.

On her Facebook page, a photo of the mutilated lower limbs of a 96-year-old woman is accompanied by the caption: "And for breakfast, some legs."

Rosas Gomez also posted pictures of a cancer-ridden uterus and a severed hand, as well as a photo of her own feet resting on the operating table next to a patient.

The furious response to the photos prompted Rosas Gomez to shut down her Facebook page, which listed local officials, lawmakers and medical students among her contacts.

People angry over the operating room photos set up a Facebook page with the title "Mayte Rosas Gomez, Go to hell", and the page has filled with harsh comments about the doctor and demands that she lose her medical license.

The IMSS is reviewing the case and plans to announce by the end of this week what disciplinary action, if any, Rosas Gomez will face, according to Mexican media accounts.
