Naturopath wins case against ombudsman
The Queensland Health Ombudsman acted too hastily when it assumed ozone therapy had put the patient at risk, tribunal finds
The Queensland Health Ombudsman acted “precipitately” when it disciplined a naturopath and Chinese medicine practitioner who injected ozone into a patient’s back muscles, a tribunal has found.
The case was based on the assumption that the patient’s worsening back pain was due to the practitioner injecting into the spine, which was not the case, the Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal found.
