The $24 million patient inheritance case: GP avoids suspension in final chapter of seven-year saga
He is banned from prescribing controlled drugs and must undergo training in professional boundaries.
“Twenty-four million inherited from a patient? You must have one hell of a bedside manner.”
As Dr Peter Alexakis left his Sydney practice one night, a reporter from A Current Affair was waiting to fire these words at him.
Weeks earlier, Dr Alexakis had overcome — for the second time — allegations by the Salvation Army that he had exploited his professional relationship with Raymond McClure, 84, who left Dr Alexakis his house and 90% of his residual $27 million estate.
The GP told the reporter to read the court judgements.
