IMG reprimanded after trying to suture while drunk
He was trying to 'fit in' with a culture of drinking, tribunal hears
An IMG who started drinking to “fit in” has been found guilty of professional misconduct after trying to suture a patient while drunk.
The Victorian doctor has been reprimanded by the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal but will be permitted to return to practice under stringent conditions that are likely to be in place “for a very long time”.
