GP banned after trying to bribe patient to withdraw complaint
The Brisbane doctor was duped by a second patient whom he paid $17,500 to persuade the woman to rescind her complaint, a tribunal hears
A ‘disgraceful’ GP who contracted a patient to bribe another patient to withdraw a complaint that he inappropriately touched her during a consultation has been banned for five years.
The Brisbane-based doctor was being investigated by the Medical Board of Australia over the 2011 incident when the patient offered to assist him “if anyone is giving you trouble”.
