The New Zealand doctor who turned his surgery into a brothel has had so little business he may have to go back to treating patients himself, a newspaper reported on Monday.
The girls at Whalers — the only brothel in New Zealand’s Far North — have not exactly been flat out since Dr Neil Benson opened the doors last month.
”It’s been a big financial loss,” Benson, who set out from the start to run a high quality business in luxury surrounds, told the Northern Advocate. ”I may have to go out and do some locum work.”
The doctor, who closed his clinic after a dispute with local health authorities over an after-hours roster, said he had not been able to find the right women to work at his establishment and had already sacked one.
”But we’ll get there,” he said. ”We will just continue towards the dream we had in the beginning because it was a correct dream. It’s totally different to what anybody has done in New Zealand. We’re trying to have an upmarket facility in a small town — we’re trying things that haven’t been done before.” – Sapa-DPA
