Suspension for anaesthetist whose fiance died in a ‘home hospital’
The NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal says its actions should send a clear message over treating close personal associates and stealing hospital supplies
An anaesthetist has been suspended for stealing hospital supplies to treat his fiancé in a ‘home hospital’ and then disposing of the evidence when she died from a self-administered drug overdose.
The Sydney-based doctor was found guilty of professional misconduct last August, over the circumstances surrounding the accidental death of his partner, who was an obstetrics registrar, from mixed drug toxicity.
