A religious fanatic anaesthetist who almost killed his girlfriend after injecting her with drugs during an Islamic 'exorcism' has been jailed for 14-and-a-half years.
Dr Hossam Metwally, 61, who worked at Diana Princess of Wales Hospital in Grimsby, North-east Lincolnshire, left his girlfriend Kelly Wilson, 33, close to death with multiple organ failure after injecting her with painkillers and sedatives.
He made made dozens of recordings of himself administering fluids through a cannula to Kelly Wilson while chanting as part of a 'dangerous perversion' of the Islamic Ruqya ritual.
The trial heard how Metwally (pictured) had been performing exorcisms on Miss Wilson to 'rid her of evil spirits'. He claimed he was helping her 'out of kindness'
The jury had been shown extracts from 200 clips the doctor had recorded over his four-year drugging campaign, which mainly took place at his home in Grimsby, north-east Lincolnshire. The videos showed Kelly Wilson (pictured), 33, being injected with unknown substances via a tube attached to her chest as Metwally chanted verses from the Quran
The father-of-four, who also ran his own pain clinic from his home in the town, also filmed two female patients without their knowledge.
Ms Wilson was found at Metwally's home in Grimsby, North East Lincolnshire, on July 4, 2019, in a deep coma, on the brink of a cardiac arrest and with a fluid line inserted in her chest after engaging in an exorcism ritual the previous evening.
Metwally denied injecting anaesthetics into Ms Wilson during an eight-week trial at Sheffield Crown Court but admitted further counts of voyeurism against two female patients following his conviction.
The court heard on Monday that he took pictures and moving footage of the women, without their knowledge and in a state of undress, when they attended his clinic for treatment.
He also altered some of the images to make them appear indecent and erotic.
He was sentenced at Sheffield Crown Court on Monday for endangering Ms Wilson's life by the intravenous administration of anaesthetic drugs, supply of various controlled drugs or medicines, possession of a controlled drug with intent to supply, fraud and voyeurism.
Sentencing Hossam Metwally at Sheffield Crown Court, Judge Jeremy Richardson QC, the Recorder of Sheffield, told him he was a 'disgrace'.
The jury was told Metwally (right) was 'prepared to endanger' Miss Wilson's (left) life and that she was found in a deep coma after he had been injecting her with dangerous drugs at The Lincs Pain Clinic - which the couple ran out of their home - in July 2019

He said: 'You are a disgrace to your profession. You will not be a doctor for very much longer. I trust you will never, ever be a doctor again.
'You perverted medical practise for your own ends.
'You are also not a very good doctor because, in these perverted practices, you very nearly killed the woman you said you loved.'
Metwally qualified as a doctor in Egypt and worked in Saudi Arabia before coming to the UK in 1996 and Grimsby in 1999.
He met Ms Wilson, now 33, in about 2013 when she was a student nurse. The jury heard she had a history of depression and her health deteriorated so she stopped working as a nurse.
Metwally had a 'vast stock of drugs' at his Laceby Road home, including ampoules of ketamine, propofol, fentanyl and Diazemuls.
The trial heard that he 'fed' Ms Wilson's drug addiction and administered potentially lethal anaesthetic drugs to perform Muslim exorcism rituals known as Ruqya - a valid practice that an imam told the court would never involve drugs or sedation.
Judge Richardson described Metwally as a 'religious fanatic' and said the rituals he carried out on Ms Wilson were 'sham religious acts'.
He said: 'It may be the case that, in some perverted way, you believed you were assisting the woman you profess to love, but you went about that in a bizarre way by botched medical procedures and the administration of potent drugs which regularly endangered her life and, on at least one occasion, nearly killed her.
'This was all done under the guise of a religious practice. It was entirely bogus. What you did had nothing whatever to do with legitimate Islamic religious ritual.'
Extracts from 200 clips recorded by Metwally over four years were shown to the jury.
They included footage of Ms Wilson strapped to a bed, in a bath and of a white liquid being administered - on occasions using an electronic device.
In one clip from 2016, Metwally can be heard chanting and after he revives his
