GP escapes referral over fitness-to-drive road death
An elderly patient had ‘doctor shopped’ in order to retain his licence, coroner finds
A GP has escaped referral to the Medical Board of Australia, after an elderly patient apparently “doctor shopped” to retain his licence before causing a fatal collision.
Richard White, 89, had been told not to drive by the GP less than two weeks before the incident, a coronial investigation heard.
