GP who forged patient signature blames cardiac issues for ‘poor judgment’
A tribunal rejected the medical excuse but added that the GP’s motivation was to stop alleged elder abuse rather than personal gain

The Melbourne doctor had a reputation for going “the extra mile”, according to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal.
