Doctor was ‘reprehensible’ in prescribing to vulnerable patients: tribunal
Patients were told they could lose weight through hormone and stimulant treatments
A former Advanced Medical Institute impotency doctor who became the medical director of a controversial weight-loss clinic has been found guilty of professional misconduct for treating another group of ‘vulnerable’ patients with unproven high-cost medicines.
Dr Thomas Goyer, a non-surgical cosmetic doctor based in Sydney, has enjoyed a colourful career.
He first made headlines four years ago after giving evidence in a court case against the Advanced Medical Institute, which had apparently paid him $1000 a day to prescribe compounded impotency medicines to patients over the phone.
Dr Goyer declared he was one of the “most experienced clinicians, not just in Australia, but in the world, of speaking to people with [impotency] concerns”.
