GP threatened to throw acid at patient if she ended their sexual relationship, tribunal finds
Dr Faramarz Foroughi also threatened to kill the patient and himself, during and after their tumultuous relationship.
A GP who threatened to throw acid at a patient or to kill himself if she ended their sexual relationship has been struck off for six years.
Dr Faramarz Foroughi also threatened the patient with HIV infection, psychiatric committal and losing custody of her children, the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal has found.
Dr Foroughi, who started practising around 2005, started sexual conversations with a patient with depression and anxiety, who he had been counselling over marriage difficulties.
Around October 2015, they shared a bottle of wine he had received on his 18th birthday, during a consultation at his practice in Sunbury, near Melbourne.
