Doctor struck off for three years for ‘bad faith’ complaints to AHPRA

He was struck off for falsely claiming another doctor caused a patient’s suicide.

A doctor has been struck off for three years over bad faith complaints that forced a locum doctor out of work as AHPRA investigated.

The Queensland doctor was found guilty of professional misconduct in April over the false complaints, which included allegations the locum doctor had caused the suicide death of a woman with trigeminal neuralgia by inappropriately ceasing her treatment.
