A DOCTOR was sent to Rio de Janeiro as a prize for recruiting the most patients to a trial for controversial mesh implants.

Athele Khunda was sent for four days to a medical conference in the * Brazilian city, where delegates were urged to relax and enjoy the sights.

Free laptops were also offered as *incentives for signing patients up.
