Three doctors triumph over vexatious patient
The patient, who launched 14 tribunal proceedings against the psychiatrists, has been banned from taking further legal action against the trio.
A patient who waged a decades-long campaign against three psychiatrists involving vexatious complaints and multiple “insulting” letters has been banned from launching further legal action against the doctors.
Collectively, the patient made 29 complaints to the Victorian Health Complaints Commissioner (HCC) and initiated 14 tribunal proceedings against the trio, who had the “misfortune” to encounter him in their practices, a tribunal wrote in a decision this week.
The patient’s complaints centred around requests for his medical records and the doctors’ privacy policies.
None of the proceedings led to action against the doctors.
