A woman who stalked her doctor, reported her to AHPRA and drew a bullet hole on a picture that she stuck on a medical practice’s door has been handed a suspended jail sentence.

The ACT Magistrates Court was told that Diane May Corcoran had sent a message to her GP saying, “There is a bullet coming your way, bitch.”

For about a month in 2024, Ms Corcoran stalked the GP after she had recommended her driving licence be temporarily suspended until she recovered from a broken ankle.

The prosecutor said the victim did not want to provide an impact statement to the court but “did say the issue still stresses her out”.
