A GP who tried to blame a pharmacist and nurses for her ongoing prescribing of excessively high doses of morphine has had her medical registration cancelled for six months.
Aged-care GP Dr Judith Silberberg was reprimanded and found guilty of professional misconduct in the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal over prescriptions for 14 end-of-life palliative care patients.
