GP with ‘deficient’ skin cancer knowledge excised 48 benign lesions from one patient: tribunal
The GP also offered the patient money to withdraw a complaint, the tribunal said.
A GP excised 48 benign lesions from one patient while claiming that another doctor had failed to diagnose the patient’s potentially fatal pre-melanomas, a tribunal has found.
The GP then offered the patient $1000 to retract a complaint, the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal said.
